IN 2015, NQF ENDORSED 161 MEASURES-55 PERCENT WERE OUTCOMES MEASURES-AND REMOVED 42 MEASURES FROM ITS PORTFOLIO ACROSS 14 HHS-FUNDED PROJECTS. NQF ENDORSED MEASURES TO:-DRIVE THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM TO BE MORE RESPONSIVE TO PATIENT/FAMILY NEEDS INCLUDING CONTINUED WORK IN PERSON- AND FAMILY-CENTERED CARE AND CARE COORDINATION, AND PALLIATIVE AND END-OF-LIFE CARE ENDORSEMENT PROJECTS, WHICH INCLUDED ENDORSING PATIENT-REPORTED OUTCOME MEASURES AND PATIENT EXPERIENCE SURVEYS.-IMPROVE CARE FOR HIGHLY PREVALENT CONDITIONS INCLUDING CARDIOVASCULAR, RENAL, ENDOCRINE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, MUSCULOSKELETAL, EYE CARE AND EAR/NOSE/THROAT CONDITIONS, PULMONARY/CRITICAL CARE, NEUROLOGY, PERINATAL, AND CANCER DISEASES AND CONDITIONS.-EMPHASIZE CROSS-CUTTING AREAS TO FOSTER BETTER CARE AND COORDINATION THROUGH PROJECTS ADDRESSING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, PATIENT SAFETY, COST AND RESOURCE USE, AND ALL-CAUSE ADMISSIONS AND READMISSIONS.NQF'S WORK IN EVOLVING THE SCIENCE OF PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT HAS EXPANDED OVER THE YEARS, AND RECENT PROJECTS FOCUS ON ADDRESSING CHALLENGES TO ACHIEVING HIGH-VALUE OUTCOME AND COST MEASURES, AS WELL AS BRINGING NEW KINDS OF PROVIDERS INTO ACCOUNTABILITY PROGRAMS. THIS PAST YEAR, THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES (CMS) CHARGED NQF WITH TWO NEW TASKS IN THE AREAS OF VARIATION OF MEASURES AND ATTRIBUTION, BOTH OF WHICH RELATE TO HOW A MEASURE WORKS IN THE FIELD AND TO EFFORTS TO LINK PAYMENT PERFORMANCE TO A SPECIFIC MEASURE. IN ADDITION, NQF FOCUSED CLOSELY ON HOW TO ADDRESS PATIENT SAFETY ISSUES ARISING FROM HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. NQF ALSO COMPLETED A PROJECT ON VALUE SET HARMONIZATION, A KEY BUILDING BLOCK FOR ELECTRONIC MEASURE DEVELOPMENT.NQF ALSO HAS WORKED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW PATIENT SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS (SES) CAN AFFECT MEASURES. NQF COMMENCED A TWO-YEAR TRIAL PERIOD EVALUATING RISK ADJUSTMENT OF MEASURES FOR SES AND OTHER DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS-A TEMPORARY POLICY CHANGE THAT WILL ALLOW FOR THE SES RISK ADJUSTMENT OF PERFORMANCE MEASURES WHERE THERE IS A SOUND CONCEPTUAL AND EMPIRICAL BASIS FOR DOING SO. AT THE END OF THE TRIAL PERIOD, NQF WILL DETERMINE WHETHER TO MAKE THIS POLICY CHANGE PERMANENT.RECOMMENDATIONS OF MEASURES AND IDENTIFICATION OF MEASURE GAPS:FOR FIVE YEARS, NQF HAS BEEN CONVENING THE MEASURE APPLICATIONS PARTNERSHIP (MAP) TO PROVIDE INPUT TO HHS ON SELECTING QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY MEASURES FOR MORE THAN 20 FEDERAL PUBLIC REPORTING AND PERFORMANCE-BASED PAYMENT PROGRAMS. IN ADDITION, THIS YEAR NEW MAP WORK FOCUSED ON POST-ACUTE CARE AND LONG-TERM CARE TO PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS TO HHS ABOUT MEASURES UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR USE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE IMPROVING MEDICARE POST-ACUTE CARE TRANSFORMATION (IMPACT) ACT OF 2014.MAP ALSO CONVENED TASK FORCES TO ADDRESS THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF BENEFICIARIES DUALLY ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID, AS WELL AS MADE RECOMMENDATIONS ON STRENGTHENING THE CORE SETS OF MEASURES USED IN MEDICAID AND THE CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM.IN 2015, NQF CONDUCTED A THOROUGH REVIEW OF ITS MEASURE PORTFOLIO AND IDENTIFIED MORE THAN 250 AREAS FOR WHICH MEASUREMENT IS UNDERDEVELOPED OR NONEXISTENT. ADDITIONALLY, NQF LED MAP TO DEVELOP A SCORECARD TO QUANTIFY THE NUMBER OF MAP-RECOMMENDED MEASURES IN GAP AREAS, ORGANIZED BY NATIONAL QUALITY STRATEGY PRIORITIES. THE AREAS WITH THE LARGEST NUMBER OF GAPS INCLUDE NEUROLOGY, CANCER, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, CARE COORDINATION, AND RESOURCE USE. GAPS PERSIST FOR MANY REASONS, INCLUDING LACK OF MEASURE DEVELOPMENT DUE TO A FUNDER'S PRIORITIES OR AGENDAS, LACK OF A CHAMPION FOR THESE GAP AREAS, DATA LIMITATION, ETC.NQF IS ALSO HELPING TO FACILITATE THE TRANSITION TO EMEASUREMENT. EFFORTS IN THIS AREA INCLUDED ENCOURAGING THE SUBMISSION OF EMEASURES FOR ENDORSEMENT, CREATING A FRAMEWORK TO HELP ADVANCE THE NOTION OF USING MEASURES TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY OF HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, AND FACILITATING THE DEVELOPMENT OF RELATED EVALUATION CRITERIA. ADDITIONALLY, EFFORTS INCLUDED AN OVERALL APPROACH TO THE HARMONIZATION AND APPROVAL OF VALUE SETS TO ENSURE MEASURES CAN BE CONSISTENTLY IMPLEMENTED ACROSS DISPARATE HIT SYSTEMS.NQF LAUNCHED A TWO-YEAR PROJECT TO HELP DEVELOP AN APPROACH TO ASSESS THE QUALITY OF HOME- AND COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES (HCBS), WHICH ARE VITAL TO PROMOTING INDEPENDENCE AND WELLNESS FOR PEOPLE WITH LONG-TERM CARE NEEDS. AN NQF-CONVENED COMMITTEE HAS CREATED A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK TO ASSESS THE QUALITY OF HCBS AND HAS IDENTIFIED MEASURES AND MEASURE CONCEPTS TO EVALUATE HCBS QUALITY, AS WELL AS IDENTIFY IMPORTANT MEASUREMENT GAPS. IN A FINAL REPORT EXPECTED LATER THIS YEAR, THE COMMITTEE WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON PRIORITIES FOR FURTHERING HCBS QUALITY MEASUREMENT. MOVING FORWARD, THE NATIONAL QUALITY FORUM SEEKS TO ADDRESS OTHER ISSUES, INCLUDING ADVANCING THE USE OF EMEASURES, CONTINUING OUR PROGRESS IN ADDRESSING MEASUREMENT SCIENCE CHALLENGES, AND FURTHERING A PORTFOLIO OF FOCUSED, HIGH-VALUE MEASURES THAT PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PAYERS, PROVIDERS, AND PATIENTS RELY ON TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE. 187160 NQF COMPLETED A PROJECT ON BEHALF OF HHS TO CONVENE A MULTISTAKEHOLDER COMMITTEE TO IDENTIFY CHALLENGES IN HEALTHCARE PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT FOR RURAL PROVIDERS AND TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MITIGATING THESE CHALLENGES, PARTICULARLY IN THE CONTEXT OF CMS PAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE PROGRAMS. THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROJECT WERE TO: MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING MEASURES APPROPRIATE FOR USE IN CMS PAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE PROGRAMS FOR RURAL HOSPITALS AND CLINICIANS. MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO HELP MITIGATE MEASUREMENT CHALLENGES FOR RURAL PROVIDERS, INCLUDING THE LOW CASE VOLUME CHALLENGE.IDENTIFY MEASUREMENT GAPS FOR RURAL HOSPITALS AND CLINICIANS 362487 QUALITY INNOVATION, ISSUE-SPECIFIC FRAMEWORKS AND SPECIAL REPORTS:AS PART OF EFFORTS TO ADDRESS LEADING MEASURE GAPS, IN 2015 NQF LAUNCHED THE NQF MEASURE INCUBATOR. THE MEASURE INCUBATOR IS AN INNOVATIVE EFFORT THAT FACILITATES EFFICIENT MEASURE DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. IN LEADING THE MEASURE INCUBATOR, NQF'S ROLE IS TO FACILITATE THE WORK OTHER OTHERS. NQF ITSELF DOES NOT DEVELOP MEASURES. NQF ALSO BROUGHT TOGETHER THOSE WITH KEY LINKS TO THE DELIVERY SYSTEM TO DEVISE AND IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE CARE IN PRESSING AREAS SUCH AS ANTIBIOTIC STEWARDSHIP AND ADVANCED ILLNESS CARE.
