Why? --- Need to
document value of growing HC program; explosion of quality initiatives;
process and outcome links to reimbursement
What? --- Small set;
2 existing (prenatal access, LBW), 4 new (childhood immunizations, Pap,
diabetes, blood pressure); across lifecycle, including disparities; aligned
to HRSA and national standards
How used? --- UDS
and SAC/BPR aligned; aggregate used for OMB, GPRA reporting, HC specific for
quality improvement. Intent that you own measures, report to them, and that
theyre meaningful to you.
Extensive trainings
are planned throughout the year; working with PCAs to make sure you get
needed TA; more on this later today.
