In June 2010, The New England Journal of Medicine published a paper titled Accountability Measures-Using Measurement to Promote Quality Improvement. The article was written by Drs. Chassin, Loeb, Schmaltz and Wachter. The article describes a framework for evaluating measures based on their ability to improve the care delivered to individuals by maximizing health benefits to patients.

Dr. Jerod Loeb, one of the co-authors from the published article will be in the NAPH office for this Webinar. Dr. Loeb will describe the model and how the Joint Commission will be applying this framework in their activities of the future. In addition, we will have the opportunity to ask Dr. Loeb how he thinks the framework should be extended beyond the Joint Commission into the work of the National Quality Forum as they develop measures moving in to the future.
