2014 Interim Report from the MAP Dual Eligible Beneficiaries Workgroup 

This interim report from the Measure Applications Partnership (MAP) is the latest in a series to describe quality measurement in the Medicare-Medicaid dual eligible beneficiary population. One of two major topics of the interim report is the creation and use of a family of measures for dual eligible beneficiaries to achieve alignment in measure use across a range of programs. MAP has also continued to think critically about the challenge of performance measurement related to quality of life outcomes. This new area of focus is described within this report and will continue to be a topic of MAP deliberations in 2014.
