Committee Report, Prioritization of High-Impact Medicare Conditions and Measure Gaps 

During the first phase of this work, the Committee was charged with prioritizing the top 20 high-impact Medicare conditions and identifying high-leverage measure gaps areas for Medicare. In subsequent phases of this work, the Committee will examine measurement needs for additional populations (e.g., children, pregnant women, and non-Medicare eligible adults) and for other important cross-cutting areas (e.g., population health, meaningful use of health information technology, and performance-based payment systems) to construct the comprehensive measure development and endorsement agenda.
