CCE Quarterly: Aligning Standardized Measurement within a PCMH

 As Recognized practices adopt and maintain a culture of quality improvement, different stakeholders (e.g., health care organizations, payers, regulators, employers) might be interested in specific measures. Standardized measures not only provide future benchmarking opportunities, but can reduce the burden of reporting similar or derivative measures. NCQA has identified an expanding menu of standardized measures that meet PCMH Recognition requirements and align with national quality programs such as MIPS. Join NCQA faculty and CCEs in a discussion about identifying quality measures that can meet a variety of reporting needs and improve patient care.
