NCQA Supports CDC’s Adapting Clinical Guidelines for the Digital Age Initiative

NCQA’s Public Policy department works closely with state and federal officials, helping them assess the quality of the care they pay for and regulate, and identifying opportunities for improvement. 

State and federal agencies utilize NCQA programs, such as Health Plan Accreditation (HPA), HEDIS performance measures and Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition (PCMH) as tools for fulfilling their oversight responsibilities. 

NCQA shares quality data and technical expertise with a variety of stakeholders across the health care spectrum. We also partner with consumers, employers and other groups to support policies that will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the health care system.  

On May 13, 2020, NCQA submitted public comments to Robert Redfield, MD, Director Centers for Disease Control & Prevention in support of the CDC’s Adapting Clinical Guidelines for the Digital Age initiative to speed the advance of new clinical evidence to its implementation in practice.
