Performance data drives delivery system improvements
Boston, Mass. – Massachusetts primary care physicians continue to achieve measurable improvements in important aspects of health care quality as reported by Massachusetts Health Quality Partners (MHQP). Today, the organization released its sixth annual Quality Insights: Clinical Quality in Primary Care report, comparing the performance of more than 150 medical groups across the state. MHQP found steady progress in results for clinical quality measures reported on over the six years, including well child visits and depression management.
As Massachusetts and the nation seek ways to improve the quality of health care and slow the growth of spending, comparative provider performance information will play a key role in delivery-system reform, according to MHQP’s executive director, Barbra Rabson.
