What is a quality measure? How do different people – payers, purchasers, providers, patients, and researchers – use quality measures? Where does measurement fit into healthcare quality improvement?
Please join us for a virtual workshop to answer these questions and more. During this 60-minute session, NQF staff will explain the fundamental concepts and terminology of quality measurement. There will be plenty of time for Q & A.
What will participants learn?
By the end of this session, participants will:
- Be able to define basic measurement concepts.
- Understand how measurement improves healthcare quality and creates healthier populations.
- Understand how and why stakeholders use performance measures differently.
