MAP Hospital Programmatic Deliverable - Final Report 

The Measure Applications Partnership (MAP) reviewed measures under consideration for nine hospital and setting-specific programs. MAP’s pre-rulemaking recommendations for measures in these programs reflect the MAP Measure Selection Criteria, how well the measures address the identified program goals, and NQF’s prior work in identifying families of measures. During its review of the measures, MAP identified several overarching issues including: (1) the need for a parsimonious set of high value measures, and (2) the need to increase alignment across programs by focusing on comparable performance across settings and data types. This report explores those issues in further detail.
