CMS Measure Development and Maintenance Information Series

Quality health care is a high priority for the President, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Developing quality measures, collecting the data for the measures, and then calculating the results is one way of assessing the quality of health care provided. CMS uses quality measures in its various quality initiatives that include quality improvement, pay for reporting, pay for performance, and public reporting.  In developing the highest standard of quality and efficiency measures, CMS has implemented its Measure Management System Blueprint, which is a set of processes and decision criteria used by CMS to oversee the development, implementation, and maintenance of healthcare quality measures.

The pre-recorded sessions review the various steps of the development and maintenance processes and offer CME or CEU to professionals.  You must review the marketing materials form prior to accessing each pre-recorded activity. Please visit the downloads section below for the latest offerings.
