Learning from State Based Initiatives: How the Washington Health Alliance is Using Performance Measures to Drive Quality Across Health Care Providers, April 23, 1PM (Eastern)
In order to meet the demands of increasingly sophisticated health systems, PQA has refined its measure development process to streamline and focus measure development activities. Measure concepts that have been selected meet clinical needs, align with the National Quality Strategy, and fill critical measure gaps.
Join in the tenth annual celebration as PQA returns to the Renaissance Capital View Hotel in Arlington, Virginia.
PQA is pleased to announce the next three quality forums on topics of timely importance to the multi-stakeholders PQA represents.
PQA Announces New Appointments to its Quality Metrics Expert Panel
PQA is pleased to announce four new appointments to its Quality Metrics Expert Panel (QMEP). This key group within PQA plays a critical role in the overall measure development process. The 2015 QMEP composition reflects PQA's membership and includes individuals with clinical or other technical expertise related to quality measurement.
As measure development assumes a greater role in the delivery of health care and as pay-for-performance becomes more widespread, there are four areas in which research can help to establish the value of PQA's measures.
Primary Medication Nonadherence
