Key strategies and supporting tactics:

1. Increase alignment in the VBP4P measure set

• Work to align with other commonly used measure sets (QRS, NCQA health plan accreditation, MACRA)

• Document and communicate where measure set diverges

• Decrease unwarranted variation in measure specs

2. Targeted development of the VBP4P measure set

• Expand and emphasize Total Cost of Care measurement

• Evaluate potential of e-Measures

• Explore feasibility of patient centered measurement

3. Support less burdensome data collection and more timely reporting

• Understand and identify improvements to data sharing processes

• Support standard mid-year reporting

2016 – 2021 Measure Set Strategy
