Five key steps in the measure development cycle: conceptualization and prioritization, measure specification development, testing and validation, implementation and reporting, and continuous evaluation and maintenance.
Foundational to all phases: engagement of individuals with lived experience of disease from diverse backgrounds, healthcare providers, quality measurement scientists and partner organizations.
Measures should be aligned with domains of quality (effectiveness, efficiency, equity, patient-centeredness, safety and timeliness of care delivery) and developed transparently.
Endorsement of future quality measures (QMs) should, at minimum, prioritize relevance/importance, validity, feasibility, and acceptability and use/usability.
