Pediatric Quality Measures Program (PQMP) Purpose Purpose – To identify new recommended core sets annually beginning January 1, 2013 – To fill gaps left by the initial core set Core measure requirements Core measure requirements – Full range of services, conditions, and ages – Enable assessment of health care disparities – Leverage health IT and collected in a standard format – For broad public and private use – Publicly-informed process

PQMP – Components 7 Centers of Excellence 7 Centers of Excellence – Cooperative agreement grants (U18) – Each is a consortium of academic institutions, State partners, consumers, and others 2 CMS Quality Demonstration Grantee States (IL, MA) 2 CMS Quality Demonstration Grantee States (IL, MA) Coordinating and Technical Assistance Center contract (RTI) Coordinating and Technical Assistance Center contract (RTI) AHRQ-CMS collaboration AHRQ-CMS collaboration Public input Public input 4 year program beginning March year program beginning March 2011

Getting to Improved Core Sets Assess measures (Summer – Fall) Recommend measures (Winter) Receive measures (Spring) Centers of Excellence submissions Improved core set (annually on January 1 st ) Subcommittee to AHRQ’s National Advisory Council (SNAC)

PQMP Informatics Presentation by NQF on the Quality Data Model at kick-off meeting Presentation by NQF on the Quality Data Model at kick-off meeting Informatics Workgroup Informatics Workgroup – Co-chaired by Marjorie Rallins (AMA-PCPI) and Aldo Tinoco (NCQA) Working with ONC and CMS Working with ONC and CMS – Measures for potential use in future stages of Meaningful use

Moving the PQMP and Health IT Forward Sample challenges Sample challenges – Re-tooling vs. developing de novo measures – Applying standards vs. conventions – Testing for validity and feasibility – Realizing that e-measurement depends heavily on local implementation – Getting to common value sets – Building an evidence base and eventually a set of best practices – Staying focused on kids
