Quality measures reporting

By combining Medicare FFS data with our linked, de-identified commercial claims and clinical data set, we have unprecedented breadth and depth of data to provide insights on the quality of care in the United States. We’re offering a fresh look at what these quality measures tell us.

Reporting themes

Our measure reports focus on two themes. One focuses on whether the processes we measure impact the outcomes that matter. Are process measures, like rates of HbA1c testing, highly correlated with the expected markers of good patient outcomes, such as fewer long-term complications?

Our second report focuses on the initial transition between commercial insurance and Medicare, which can now be measured with integrated commercial and Medicare data — both FFS and Medicare Advantage.

Are people who are moving into Medicare experiencing changes in quality health care and outcomes? Better understanding this transition could help payers and providers address potential quality gaps for patients during this period.

We offer a starting point for health care stakeholders to examine these two themes by summarizing a few starter insights from the results. Our interactive reports then offer more insights to inform health care quality and policy discussions and spur more research.
