Healthcare DIVE December 4, 2017
Dive Brief:
- The CMS released its Measures under Consideration (MUC) list for 2018 pre-rulemaking. The agency also sent the MUC to the National Quality Forum for input.
- The new list includes 32 measures that the CMS said has “the potential to drive improvement in quality across numerous settings of care, including clinical practices, hospitals and dialysis facilities,” wrote Kate Goodrich, MD, director for the Center for Clinical Standards & Quality and CMS’ chief medical officer. The list is much shorter than last year’s, whenCMS considered almost 100 measures.
- The CMS is also “considering new measures to help quantify healthcare outcomes and track the effectiveness, safety and patient-centeredness of the care provided,” said Goodrich.
