Three New Quality Improvement Resources for Home and Community-Based Services

Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) releases three resources to promote quality improvement efforts within Medicaid-funded home and community-based services (HCBS).

• 2024 Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Quality Measure Set (QMS): Informational Bulletin updating the 2022 HCBS QMS.
• Home and Community-Based Quality Measure Set Reporting Requirements for Money Follows the Person (MFP) Demonstration Grant Recipients: Informational Bulletin addressing requirements and expectations for reporting populations, timeframes, required measures, stratification, and sampling.
• 2024 Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) Quality Measures Technical Specifications and Resource Manual: introduces a set of measures for Medicaid fee-for-service delivery systems that correspond with measures for Medicaid managed care programs.
