CCE Quarterly: Including Patient Priorities into QM OnDemand

About this On Demand Training

Cost: $99
Duration: 1.25 hours

CCE Quarterly Webinar: Person-Driven Outcomes: Incorporating Patient Priorities into Quality Measurement OnDemand

In July 2021, NCQA added the person-driven approach to the guidance for PCMH criterion CM 06: Patient Preferences and Goals, as a structured approach to eliciting and documenting patient preferences. During the Certified Content Expert webinar on January 25, 2022, we reviewed the person-driven outcomes approach, including methods and insights to ensure practices collect and document an individual's prioritized goals accurately. The OnDemand will also discuss how to implement the person-driven outcomes approach in clinical care, as well as the benefits of the approach for individuals and their care team.

What You Will Learn

• Describe how outcomes identified by the individual (or caregiver) as important can be used for care planning and quality measurement.
• Crosswalk the person-driven outcomes approach with existing PCMH criterion to elicit and document patient preferences.
• Implement strategies to assist practices in using the person-driven outcomes approach, including tips to assess goal appropriateness and accurate documentation of a patient goal.
