LeadingAge Comments on 2022 Measures Under Consideration

The National Quality Forum (NQF) annually publishes a list of quality Measures Under Consideration(MUC) for future rule making and seeks public feedback on these measures. This information is then shared with relevant work groups of stakeholders who evaluate, discuss and make recommendations on the MUC measures. LeadingAge participates in the Post-Acute Care and Long-Term Care Work Group of the Measures Application Partnership, which convenes Dec. 12 to discuss the two proposed SNF and Home Health Quality Reporting Program (QRP) measures and the 5 proposed SNF Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) program measures. The 2022 MUC list was published on Dec. 1 and LeadingAge submitted its written comments to NQF electronically on Dec. 7. These comments were based upon direct feedback from members through our Quality & Risk Management and Home Health networks.
