Quality Measurement Basics: And Why it Matters (Quality and Population Health Series, Part 1)

Understanding, measuring, working to improve quality performance are critical to ensuring that patients have positive outcomes and providers are satisfied—they’re also critical to ensure your practice is meeting its regulatory requirements and maximizing payment opportunities. As the District of Columbia carves in behavioral health care to managed care arrangements and requires more providers to be in value-based care arrangements, its even more imperative that quality measurement and improvement is understood and infused across your organization—from providers, to leaders, to auxiliary staff.

This three-part series will describe the quality measurement basics and why it matters, treatment planning for population health, and quality improvement basics to ensure a strong culture of improvement and performance. In Part 1, we will explore why we need to infuse a culture of quality within healthcare organizations, including an understanding of what we value, who we serve, and who we are accountable to. Presenters will emphasize the importance of all staff understanding quality and its impact on our patients, staff and organization. We will review the basics of measurement and key measures in quality focused on integrated care.
