The Metrics and Scoring Committee in July finalized the list of health care quality measures that will be included in the 2020 CCO Quality Incentive Program.
These metrics will be the first set of pay-for performance measures included in the new CCO contracts beginning January 2020. The committee chose to reduce the number of measures included in the program from 19 to 13. This included retiring 10 of the measures currently included in the program and adding four new claims-based measures.
Two of the new measures are part of a multi-year strategy focused on the health sector’s role in preparing children for kindergarten (well-child visits for children ages 3-6 and preventive dental visits for ages 1-5). The other new measures focus on immunizations for adolescents and ensuring those newly diagnosed with substance use disorders are able to access treatment.
The committee will spend the next two months identifying targets each of the measures included in the 2020 incentive measure set. More information about the Metrics & Scoring Committee, including past meeting materials and copies of written public testimony, is available on their webpage.
