HealthPayerIntelligence: NCQA, Health Plans to Measure Patient-Reported Outcomes
HealthPayerIntelligence.com has published an article, "NCQA, Health Plans to Measure Patient-Reported Outcomes."
The piece discusses the National Committee for Quality Assurance's (NCQA) partnership with four health plans to test a new performance standard for collecting patient-reported outcomes measures, or PROMs.
“Existing care measures often may not accurately reflect what is most important to people, particularly adults with complex care needs and we hope to change that,” says Erin Giovannetti, Senior Research Scientist, NCQA.
Dr. Giovannetti heads the Demonstration of Person-Driven Outcomes Measures for an Age-Friendly Health System project. "The project has received $2.1 million in funding from The John A. Hartford Foundation and The SCAN Foundation, and will include participation from over 800 patients and other provider organizations."
