NCQA’s Person-Centered Outcome (PCO) Measures: Overview and Health Equity Summit Session Recording
The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) has published an overview explaining Person-Centered Outcome (PCO) Measures, and released a recording of their 2022 Health Innovation Summit Session on "Promoting Equity by Measuring What Matters Most."
The overview and the Summit session describe NCQA's PCO measures and explain ways they can impact your organization and how they promote health equity. The measures are the result of seven years of collaboration between NCQA, people and their families, clinicians, researchers and health care organizations, tested in a variety of settings so NCQA could better understand training and workflow changes needed to provide care that is person-centered.
The PCO measures drive care that matters to people and encourage organizations throughout the care continuum to work together in an integrated manner to help people achieve their health outcome goals.
In the next 12 months, over 200 clinicians from primary care, long-term services and supports and behavioral health will be implementing NCQA’s Person-Centered Outcome (PCO) Measures with over 10,000 patients, from diverse backgrounds, in seven states. To learn more about the testing effort and the PCO measures, please see the PCO measures overview or contact the NCQA team at pcomeasures@ncqa.org.
