Quality Measure Catalog Survey Results

The Quality Measure Catalog is a voluntary survey administered jointly by CHIA and the Health Policy Commission (HPC) that collects information on which quality measures payers have included in their global budget-based risk contracts with health care providers for the upcoming year. The survey is used to assess payer adherence to the Massachusetts Aligned Measure Set—a limited set of high-priority quality measures recommended and updated annually by the Quality Measure Alignment Taskforce. 

Note: Legislation signed earlier this year (Chapter 343: An Act Enhancing the Market Review Process) requires CHIA to establish a measure set for mandatory adoption, which is still in development; the current results reflect voluntary use in global budget-based risk contracts.

CHIA’s latest interactive dashboard, produced in collaboration with the HPC, presents information about the composition of the Aligned Measure Set for contract years 2022-2025 as well as overall payer adherence to the set. An overview of the measure alignment initiative, including survey results and methodology, can be found in the executive summary.

Health care quality measurement serves an important role in ensuring that patients receive high-quality care, identifying areas for improvement, and encouraging accountability across the payer and provider community. Aligning measures used in global budget-based risk contracts also helps reduce administrative burden, particularly for providers managing various measures across their payer contracts.
