This MBQIP Virtual Knowledge Group webinar from the RQITA Resource Center will share information and resources about MBQIP 2025 and the Hybrid Hospital-Wide Readmissions measure with state Flex Program personnel and their subcontractors.

Participating in this webinar will enhance your knowledge of the 2025 MBQIP measures and provide you with information you need to assist your hospitals with data elements, submission mechanisms, and deadlines. This event is hosted by the RQITA resource center.

This kick-off call highlighted the release of the National CAH Quality Inventory and Assessment, which helps CAHS identify the core elements of CAH quality infrastructure and criteria necessary for successful quality efforts.

This report serves as a framework to inform quality in critical access hospitals, assist them in creating sustainable quality infrastructure, moving beyond mere measures, and toward organizational excellence.
