The National Quality Forum has issued a call for measures for its care-coordination program.
The quality-endorsing body hopes to fill out its framework for measuring care coordination with measures that address national goals established by its National Priorities Partnership—such as enhanced patient communication and reducing 30-day readmission rates and preventable emergency visits.
The NQF said it also wants to consider measures that address team-based care, effective patient transitions, medication reconciliation and reduced duplication of services. The framework includes the domains of a healthcare “home,” proactive plan of care, communication, information systems and transitions.
Electronic submissions are due by April 17.
