FINAL REPORT AUGUST 31, 2018 (funded by the Dept. of Health & Human Services (HHS)-contract HHSM-5002012-00009I, Task Order HHSM-500-T0027)
National Quality Forum convenes the statutorily mandated Measure Applications Partnership (MAP) as a public/private partnership of healthcare stakeholders. MAP provides input to the Department of HHS on the selection of performance measures for public reporting and performance-based payment programs. MAP also helps to identify gaps in measure development and encourages measure alignment across public and private programs, settings, levels of analysis, and populations. map_rural_final_report_2018.pdf
