NASHP Blog: Measuring What Matters - Opportunities for States
The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) has released a blog, "Measuring What Matters: Opportunities for States."
State policymakers have developed a range of strategies to build the patient voice into care and care planning. Such strategies include regulatory requirements for providers to engage in care planning, and value-based purchasing models that incentivize managed care plans and providers to ensure that people and their families are involved in key decisions regarding their efforts. While this work is critical to promoting more person-driven care, states need more tools to determine if these person-centered practices are working.
The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), in partnership with The SCAN Foundation and JAHF, has been developing and testing new measures that enable health care providers, working closely with patients, to document and track progress on person-driven outcomes. The blog explains that states are keenly interested in supporting person-driven care for people with serious or complex health status and detail a range of policy levers.
