What are Quality Measures in Value-Based Care?

Quality measures are standardized metrics used to evaluate clinical performance, patient outcomes, and care processes across a population. In MSSP programs, ACOs report quality performance using methods such as eCQM, MIPS CQM, and MCQM. They directly impact financial performance, shared savings, and compliance.
For commercial payers, ACOs are rewarded based on their performance on contracted HEDIS measures.

For ACOs, accurate tracking and reporting of quality measures is essential. Without clear visibility into performance and gaps, organizations risk missed opportunities, lower scores, and reduced shared savings.

Proactively Manage Quality Measures Across Data Sources

Integrate EHR, claims, and health plan data into a unified data aggregation layer to track quality performance across all relevant measures.
Drill into care gaps by provider group, provider, and patient to support targeted outreach and intervention.
Use performance trend reporting to identify gaps, prioritize action, and improve quality outcomes ahead of reporting deadlines.

Frequently Asked Questions About Value-based Care Quality Measures

Why is accurate quality measure reporting critical for ACOs?

Accurate quality measure reporting is critical for ACOs because it determines both financial outcomes and how performance is evaluated in value-based care programs. Small inaccuracies can lead to lower scores, missed shared savings, and misalignment between reported and actual performance. Ensuring accuracy and completeness allows ACOs to confidently reflect the care they deliver, strengthen program results, and maximize revenue opportunities.

How can ACOs improve quality measure performance?

ACOs can improve performance by identifying care gaps, ensuring data accuracy, enabling timely provider intervention, and tracking progress throughout the reporting period. Proactive management is essential to improving scores before submission deadlines.

How do ACOs report quality measures?

ACOs report quality measures within programs such as MSSP using methods like eCQM, MIPS CQM, and MCQM. For all payers, this process involves aggregating clinical and claims data, calculating performance metrics, and submitting results to CMS or payers in the required format.

What is the difference between eCQM, MIPS, and MCQM?

eCQMs(electronic Clinical Quality Measures) are derived from EHR data, MIPS measures are part of the Merit-based Incentive Payment System, and MCQMs are Medicare Clinical Quality Measures used in MSSP reporting. Each reporting method has different data requirements and submission methods. ACOs choose one of these quality reporting options.
