MAP Workgroups to Discuss CMS Performance Measures Under Consideration

The Measure Applications Partnership (MAP) workgroups met virtually this week to discuss performance measures under consideration by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), including measures related to hospitals’ commitment to addressing health equity as well as severe obstetric complications. The hospital workgroup, chaired by the AHA, met Dec. 15 and the post-acute care workgroup met Dec. 16; both meetings were open to the public. The MAP is a public-private partnership convened by The National Quality Forum and CMS to provide input to the Health and Human Services Secretary on the selection of performance measures for public reporting and performance-based payment programs.
