Quality Measures Reporter:
Bring quality measures data to life with comprehensive reporting solution
P4P initiatives, along with national and state regulatory requirements, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) value-based purchasing scheduled to begin in October 2008, place a growing burden on hospital and health system reporting and quality improvement resources.
Optimize data collection and reporting with Quality Measures Reporter (QMR) – a one-stop solution for submission and analysis of core measures required for national and state regulatory compliance, and P4P reimbursement.
Premier is the leader in P4P. In 2003, Premier teamed with CMS to create the Hospital Quality Incentive Demonstration (HQID) – a first of its kind initiative to determine whether financial incentives are effective at improving the quality of inpatient hospital care. More than 260 hospitals voluntarily participated in the project.
With this experience in P4P and developed with clinicians in mind, Premier’s QMR brings data to life so users spend less time on collection and analysis and more time achieving performance goals. A Web-based tool, QMR can be accessed from multiple points at a facility, allowing users to easily manage the entire quality measures reporting process.
Key features:
- Compare performance against national benchmarks, including practices from the HQID to prepare for and positively impact P4P reimbursement.
- Capture and review performance measures in real-time to maximize performance improvement opportunities.
- Efficiently calculate and present results with presentation-ready reports with data at the system, hospital, physician and nurse levels.
- Simplify abstraction and minimize reporting errors with immediate error correction and concurrent abstraction.
- Manage reporting activities with single-source solution supporting multiple national and state quality initiatives including:
- The Joint Commission Core Measures (including all sets for the National Hospital Quality measures)
- Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Eighth Scope of Work Indicators
- The American Heart Association’s (AHA) Get with the Guideline Program
- California’s CHART
- Florida’s AHCA
- And many more!
