Performance Measurement Workgroup


Performance Measurement Workgroup Information

In general, this Work Group will develop recommendations for the Commission on measures that are reliable, informative, and practical for assessing hospital quality. The Performance Measurement Work Group will address a number of quality topics including but not limited to :

  • Value-based payment (integration of cost, quality, population health and outcomes)

  • Patient Experience and Patient-centered Outcome measures

  • Potentially Avoidable Utilization (PAU)

  • Development of Statewide Targets and Hospital Performance Measurement


Subgroups to the Performance Measurement Workgroup

Readmissions Subgroup to the PMWG

 In collaboration with key hospital, payer, consumer and other stakeholders, HSCRC is convening a subgroup of the Performance Measurement Workgroup during 2019 to develop updated pay for performance approaches for reducing readmissions in Maryland to support the goals of the TCOC Model. Specifically, this entails considering new approaches to evaluate Maryland hospital performance relative to the nation, while at the same time affording the State the opportunity to be aggressive and progressive in its program(s).   For more information about subgroup meetings:  Subgroup-HSCRC-RRIP


​Quality Based Reimbursement (QBR) Program Redesign Subgroup to the PMWG

In collaboration with key hospital, payer, consumer and other stakeholders, HSCRC  planned to convene a subgroup to the PMWG during 2020 to develop updated pay for performance approaches for improving quality, safety and patient experience outcomes across the QBR measurement domains.  

Due to the COVID-1​9 outbreak, the HSCRC  suspended the QBR Subgroup meetings until the crisis has subsided to allow all of us time to focus on  this COVID-19 outbreak.    HSCRC  is convening Subgroup March through July of 2021.   

For more information about subgroup meetings: Subgroup-HSCRC-QBR

​Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the HSCRC is suspending the Performance Measurement Workgroup meetings until the crisis has subsided.  This is to allow all of us time to focus on  this COVID-19 outbreak.  Once we have gotten past this crisis staff will determine when it is feasible to start this workgroup.​
