Where do data on health care quality come from?

Administrative data

Medical records

Qualitative data

Disease registries

Data availability and validity are key elements to consider when selecting appropriate quality and resource use measures.

How are quality measures used?

Public reporting: CMS provides quality performance data for hospitals in the Medicare program on its Hospital Compare website, also, data for the Medicare program on nursing homes, home health agencies, and Medicare Advantage plans.

Provider incentive programs: For example, rather than paying providers for the volume of care they deliver, payers can link all or part of a payment to the quality of care that is delivered. (ACOs) use quality measurement as a critical method of allocating payments to participating providers.

Accreditation and certification: ACA requires all qualified health plans to be accredited.
