Project Title: Patient Safety Structural Measure
Dates:
- The Technical Expert Panel (TEP) nomination period closed on December 21, 2022.
Project Overview:
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) contracted with CORE to develop a Patient Safety Structural Measure. The contract name is Development, Reevaluation, and Implementation of Outcome/Efficiency Measures for Hospital and Eligible Clinicians, Option Period 3. The contract number is HHSM-75FCMC18D0042, Task Order HHSM-75FCMC19F0001. As part of its measure development process, CORE convenes groups of stakeholders who contribute direction and thoughtful input to the measure developer during measure development and maintenance. The purpose of this TEP is to assemble a group with diverse perspectives and expertise to advise on conceptual, technical, and implementation considerations of this measure.
Perspectives/Expertise:
We sought individuals with differing perspectives and areas of expertise, such as those with subject matter expertise in: Patient safety; Patient advocacy; Consumer/patient/family (caregiver) perspective; Hospital administration; Healthcare delivery (e.g., clinicians); Performance measurement; Quality improvement; Healthcare disparities. As the focus of this TEP will be to obtain input on a Patient Safety Structural Measure, we are interested in having patients, patient advocates, and patient caregivers comprise half of the TEP.
TEP Expected Time Commitment:
CORE anticipates holding two webinar-based meetings for March of 2023.
