The practice uses an ongoing quality improvement process to:
The practice sets goals and acts to improve performance, based on clinical quality measures (measures identified in Element A), resource and care coordination measures (measures identified in Element B) and patient experience measures (measures identified in Element C). The goal is for the practice to reach a desired level of achievement based on its self-identified standard of care. No show rates are not acceptable.
Since for element 6E you need to show improvement on at least three measures, you should pick to report on measures where you have some potential for improvement.
NCQA will review a report showing how you meet each factor, or you can complete NCQA's PCMH Quality Measurement and Improvement Worksheet and submit that.
