Jkt 253001
The United States Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) has
long recognized that a high functioning
health care system that provides higher
quality care requires accurate, valid, and
reliable measurement of quality and
efficiency. The Medicare Improvements
for Patients and Providers Act of 2008
(MIPPA) (Pub. L. 110–275) added
section 1890 of the Social Security Act
(the Act), which requires the Secretary
of HHS (the Secretary) to contract with
a consensus based entity (CBE) to
perform multiple duties to help improve
performance measurement. Section
3014 of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act (the Affordable Care
Act) (Pub. L. 111–148) expanded the
duties of the CBE to help in the
identification of gaps in available
measures and to improve the selection
of measures used in health care
programs. The Secretary extends his
appreciation to the CBE in their
partnership for the fulfillment of these
statutory requirements.
In January 2009, a competitive
contract was awarded by HHS to the
National Quality Forum (NQF) to fulfill
requirements of section 1890 of the Act.

A second, multi-year contract was
awarded again to NQF after an open
competition in 2012. A third, multicontract was awarded again to NQF after
an open competition in 2017. Section
1890(b) of the Act requires the
following:
Priority Setting Process: Formulation
of a National Strategy and Priorities for
Health Care Performance Measurement.
The CBE must synthesize evidence and
convene key stakeholders to make
recommendations on an integrated
national strategy and priorities for
health care performance measurement
in all applicable settings. In doing so,
the CBE must give priority to measures
that: (1) Address the health care
provided to patients with prevalent,
high-cost chronic diseases; (2) have the
greatest potential for improving quality,
efficiency, and patient-centered health
care; and (3) may be implemented
rapidly due to existing evidence,
standards of care, or other reasons. In
addition, the CBE must take into
account measures that: (1) May assist
consumers and patients in making
informed health care decisions; (2)
address health disparities across groups
and areas; and (3) address the
continuum of care furnished by
multiple providers or practitioners
across multiple settings.
Endorsement of Measures: The CBE
must provide for the endorsement of
standardized health care performance
measures. This process must consider
whether measures are evidence-based,
