No urgency for pilot to make performance reports public

Article Overview

This article covers a CMS pilot initiative focused on claims-based quality performance measurement for physicians in four states, along with the process for aggregating and analyzing data, the organizations involved, and the agency’s timeline for public reporting. It is relevant to readers tracking Medicare quality programs, physician reporting, and transparency efforts because it explains the pilot’s purpose, participating entities, and the fact that public release depends on validation and attribution methodology work that is still underway.
