Currently, measures on the care of patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and distal symmetric polyneuropathy are still in the development stage. There are also measurement sets developed by the Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement (PCPI) along with measurement sets as part of the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS).
