What is a quality measure? How do different people – payers, purchasers, providers, patients, and researchers – use quality measures throughout an episode of care? 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, Karen Johnson, Senior Director at NQF and Camille Smith, Director, Member Education will explain the fundamental concepts and terminology of quality measurement. There will be plenty of time for Q & A.
