RHC Performance Measurement and Quality Improvement

There are many terms that are used in reference to improving clinical and non-clinical outcomes in a health care facility. Quality improvement, continuous quality improvement (CQI), quality assessment, quality assurance, and performance improvement are just a few. Regardless of the term used, in today's health care landscape, primary care practice's quality-related activities are imperative to achieve the Triple Aim: 

1. Improve the health of the population;
2. Enhance patient experiences and outcomes; and
3. Reduce the cost of care.

RHCs are not exempt from the impact of national efforts to create a high-value health care system, despite no implicit program requirement from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in the Conditions of Participation for RHCs. This one-hour webinar will explore performance measurement and quality improvement within an RHC setting with practical application tips to ensure forward momentum toward value.
