Michigan Quality Improvement Consortium Measurement Specifications
Why Measurement
Specifications?
Detailed specifications are required to assure comparability of reported performance. By establishing standard ways to collect and report performance information, MQIC will be able to aggregate results at baseline and in the future to evaluate the success of this collaborative effort. Participating organizations will have benchmarks to compare performance on a number of dimensions. Purchasers requesting the standard MQIC measures will have some assurance that the results provided by each organization are comparable.
How were the measurement specifications developed?
The MQIC Measurement Subcommittee, a team of quality improvement and data reporting
experts from the participating MQIC organizations developed the specifications
in collaboration with the MQIC Medical Directors. Whenever possible, HEDIS™ specifications
were used to build upon NCQA's work, maximize the ability to compare performance
with non-participating organizations and minimize the additional programming and
reporting burden on health plans and insurance companies. In order to comply with
the MQIC measurement specifications, participating organizations will need a copy
of the current version of HEDIS™ Technical Specifications.
