NQF Endorsement

Standardized performance measures are tools to assess quality that can be used to benchmark and compare

An NQF endorsement reflects rigorous scientific and evidence‐based review, input from patients and their families, and the perspectives of people throughout the healthcare industry

Endorsement reduces the burden associated with use of near identical measures and facilitates alignment 

10

Why NQF Endorsement? 

Page 11: Performance Measurement Coordination

NQF Endorsement Evaluation Criteria

Importance to measure and report What is the level of evidence for the measure?  Is there an opportunity for improvement?Relation to a priority area or high impact area of care?

Scientific acceptability of the measurement properties What is the reliability and validity of the measure?

UsabilityWhat is the extent to which potential audiences (e.g., consumers, purchasers, payers, providers, policymakers) are using or could use performance results for both accountability and performance improvement?

FeasibilityCan the measure be implemented without undue burden, captured with electronic data/EHRs?

Assess competing and related measures

11

Page 12: Performance Measurement Coordination

Quality landscape contains a proliferation of measuresSeveral measures could be considered duplicative or overlappingOthers measure similar but not the same concept and/or patient populationDuplicative or similar measures increase data collection burden and create confusion or inaccuracy in interpreting performance results

NQF Endorsement Harmonization and Competing Measures

Endorsement of multiple competing measures should be by exception, with adequate justificationPreference for measures that include broadest possible target population for whom the measure is appropriate, as indicated by evidencePreference for measures that assess performance for broadest possible application (e.g., as many individuals, entities, settings, and levels of analysis, for which the measure is appropriate

Transition to eMeasures

Need de novo measure development that takes  advantage of clinical data in EHRs, registries, and  patient portals

Need better interfaces to other data, including  patient demographics and costs

Current EHRs present additional challenges»

Widespread EHR data are not yet available for measure 

development and testing»

Lack of comparability across vendor products

»

Data elements needed for advanced measures currently 

may not be feasible to capture in EHRs

Track medical issues across medical settings

Track population‐level information, patient data needs to be accurately tracked across different providers and data platforms (role of HIEs)

Who Uses NQF‐Endorsed Measures?

18

Approximately 700 endorsed measures

Various users

Federal

State

Community

Providers

Page 19: Performance Measurement Coordination

MAP Purpose

MAP Objectives:

1.

Improve outcomes in high‐leverage areas for patients and their 

families

2.

Align performance measurement across programs and sectors to 

provide consistent and meaningful information that supports 

provider/clinician improvement, informs consumer choice, and 

enables purchasers and payers to buy on value

3.

Coordinate measurement efforts to accelerate improvement, 

enhance system efficiency, and reduce provider data collection 

burden

19

In pursuit of the NQS, MAP informs the selection of performance measures to achieve 

the goal of

improvement, transparency, and value for all

MAP Strategic Plan: 2012‐2015 Report

Page 20: Performance Measurement Coordination

MAP Measure Selection Criteria

1.

Measures within the program measure set are NQF‐endorsed or meet the 

requirements for expedited review

2.

Program measure set adequately addresses each of the National Quality Strategy 

(NQS) priorities 

3.

Program measure set adequately addresses high‐impact conditions relevant to the 

program’s intended population(s) (e.g., children, adult non‐Medicare, older adults, 

dual eligible beneficiaries) 

4.

Program measure set promotes alignment with specific program attributes, as well as 

alignment across programs

5.

Program measure set includes an appropriate mix of measure types

6.

Program measure set enables measurement across the person‐centered episode of 

care 

7.

Program measure set includes considerations for healthcare disparities 

8.

Program measure set promotes parsimony

MAP Recommendations for  Alignment of System Level Measurement

Provides the opportunity to assess care across settings where patients receive care

Allows for the assessment of topics difficult to measure at setting specific levels due to small numbers and/or attribution challenges

System‐level measure sets should align with measures used for setting‐specific programs, plan‐level programs, and Meaningful Use programs to leverage data, decrease collection burden, and align care delivery goals

Families of Measures and Core Measure Sets 

Families of measures and core measure sets are intended to alignperformance measurement across federal programs and public and private initiatives, and to encourage the best use of available measures in specific HHS and private sector programs

Family of measures – “related available measures and measure gaps for specific 

topic areas that span programs, care settings, levels of analysis, and populations”

(e.g., care coordination family of measures, diabetes family of measures)

Core measure set –

“available measures and gaps drawn from families of 

measures that should be applied to specified programs, care settings, levels of 

analysis, and populations”

(e.g., hospital core measure set, dual eligible 

beneficiaries core measure set)
