The annual report provides an MQIC community rate for many health care performance measures as outlined by the National Committee for Quality Assurance, and all 13 participating health plans’ results are used for calculating the final rate. All measures reported have alignment with recommendations provided on MQIC guidelines.
The Summary document is a compilation of all MQIC 2018 results and provides comparison of 2018 to 2017. Also listed on this document are the tools available on the MQIC website Physician Tools page.
MQIC one-side of one-page guidelines assist primary care providers by outlining evidence-based recommendations, so the focus is where it should be, on the patient. Many recommendations align with clinical quality measures programs, so implementing the guidelines into practice can support providers with quality measurement.
