A Roadmap to Meaningful Health Care Quality Measurement

During the 2016 election season, the Council of Accountable Physician Practices urged political candidates at all level to focus on three critical health policy issues. These issues — or platforms — can support a better health care delivery system and should be at the top of every policymakers’ health care agenda:

  • Value-based payments
  • Robust and coordinated use of health information technology
  • Improved and harmonized quality measurement and reporting

In this brief, the first in a three-part series entitled “Implementing Health System Improvement,” the physician leaders of CAPP provide more detailed guidance to newly elected officials and members of the administration about how to move forward on one of these issues: quality measurement and reporting.
