PACE Webinar Recording: Aligning Care and Quality Measures with Patients’ Health Priorities (What Matters Most to Them)
The National PACE Association (NPA) Primary Care Committee held a webinar on January 10, “Aligning Care and Quality Measures with Patients’ Health Priorities (What Matters Most to Them).”
The webinar introduced viewers to the Patient Priorities Care (PPC) approach, patient priorities aligned decision-making, and the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) person-driven outcome measures. PPC is an approach to decision-making that aims to align care with individuals’ health priorities and prepare clinicians to translate these priorities into clinical decisions and care. To measure this type of care, NCQA developed person-driven outcome measures, quality measures that use a combination of individualized and standardized person-reported outcome measures to track goals of care over time and are designed to incentivize care focused on what matters to older adults.
The concepts and tools of the PPC approach may complement the longstanding Model Practice initiative of the NPA Primary Care Committee that similarly seeks to align a participant’s goals for care with therapeutic choices and interventions for specific chronic conditions and preventive care.
Webinar speakers included:
- Mary Tinetti, MD, Gladys Phillips Crofoot Professor of Medicine (Geriatrics) and professor in the Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale School of Medicine
- Aanand D. Naik, MD, professor and Robert Luchi Chair of Geriatric Medicine, chief of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, and Implementation Science and Innovations Program director at the Michael E. DeBakey VAMC in Houston, TX
- Caroline S. Blaum, MD, MS, senior research scientist at the National Committee for Quality Assurance
