Patient data collection is critical in how the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is developing health equity quality measures for hospices in value-based payment.
The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) in 2022 announced a “strategy refresh” that included a renewed focus on health care equity in payment model design. Among other objectives, the strategy’s pillars included a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion.
One year after its launch, the agency has indicated that increased data collection and analysis will be crucial to evaluating health equity impacts and defining quality measures in future payment models.
