Quality Measures

Quality measures are tools that help us measure or quantify healthcare processes, outcomes, patient perceptions, and organizational structure and/or systems that are associated with the ability to provide high-quality health care and/or that relate to one or more quality goals for health care.

These goals include: effective, safe, efficient, patient-centered, equitable, and timely care.

We are committed to ensuring that all patients have access to high performing providers that understand the importance of achieving exceptional ratings with regard to quality. We provide patients and providers with the educational and process tools needed to achieve these goals.
