Definitions and measures of “quality” in health care have historically varied greatly across physician groups, health systems and health insurance. However, the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) has been changing that reality—developing and promoting a foundational set of quality measures now used by thousands of organizations.

Join us for an informative webinar, led by Andrew Leibfried, Senior Director of Regulatory & Market Strategy and Amy Conlon, Senior Manager of Population Health, designed to introduce healthcare professionals to the quality measure ecosystem created by NCQA and the power of quality and equity standards as a driver of care delivery. This session will focus on the quality performance process using the Colorectal Cancer Screening (COL-E) measure to illustrate how measures consistently come together across the healthcare ecosystem to support quality and equitable care.

This webinar will offer real-world examples of how health systems are partnering with health insurance companies to close care gaps and improve patient outcomes. Participants will be able to identify quality champions within their own organization to collaboratively foster these mutually beneficial partnerships.

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss the quality measures ecosystem and why it matters to health insurers.
• Describe the future direction of quality and health equity within the payer landscape by using the Colorectal Cancer Screening (COL) measure.
• Identify examples of how providers and payers can partner to advance quality care that is equitable for all.
