The Statewide Quality Advisory Committee (SQAC) is seeking the public’s input on what measures should be added to or deleted from the state’s Standard Quality Measure Set (SQMS). The measure set is updated annually and serves as the basis for provider reporting – the results of which are then compared against national standards. In previous years, MHA, through the Mass Collaborative, worked with health plans to identify a common set of quality measures for use in insurance plan tiering. MHA has consistently argued that there should be standardization of measures among payers and transparency in how the measures are used. Anyone who would like to nominate a measure or measure area for SQAC’s consideration can complete this Quality Measure Nomination Survey before June 15, 2017. E-mail SQAC@state.ma.us with any questions.
