How Can We Work Together to Improve Healthcare Quality for All Americans

Healthcare Quality must be a top priority for our nation. The Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) Program, run by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), is one of the largest federal programs dedicated to improving health quality for Medicare and is an integral part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human (HHS) Services' National Quality Strategy for providing better care and better health at lower cost. By law, the mission of the QIO Program is to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, economy, and quality of services delivered to Medicare beneficiaries. CMS regularly evolves our programs to accomplish these goals.

Tool: Multiple tools were utilized within the Quality Improvement Organization program.

Problem: While our country has some industry-leading healthcare innovations, there are many more providers/practitioners who are struggling to find the resources and best practices to bring their facilities/practices to the level of healthcare quality that some of the world's champions have attained. CMS believes that healthcare quality can always be improved.

Usage: We plan to discuss multiple examples of from the 19 problem measures on which we focused within four primary aims/categories.

Results: We plan to discuss multiple examples of from the 19 problem measures on which we focused within four primary aims/categories.
