2022 MAP Considerations for Measure Set Review in Federal Programs - Final Report 

The Measure Applications Partnership (MAP), convened and facilitated by the National Quality Forum (NQF), is a multi-stakeholder group that provides consensus-based recommendations for the selection and removal of measures from federal quality and performance programs. MAP’s recommendations for removal of measures in the selected programs reflect priorities to ease burden associated with increased number of performance measures, and identify measures that no longer meet program priorities and no longer provide valuable information for public reporting and payment programs. During the 2022 Measure Set Review (MSR) cycle, MAP reviewed 32 measures across six programs. Of the 32 measures, MAP expressed support for retaining 9 measures, conditional support for retaining for 16 measures, conditional support for removal for 4 measures, and support for removal for 3 measures.
