CMS Publishes Blog Highlighting Impact of a New Quality Pathway on Patient Experience

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid published a paper examining how the integration of a new Quality Pathway will positively impact overall patient experience in CMS Innovation Center models. The Quality Pathway aims to align quality goals within CMS alternative payment models, elevate outcomes and experience measures, and ensure that evaluations are better designed to assess the impact of models on patient-centered goals. These determinations will help the CMS Innovation Center make critical decisions about which models to expand in the pursuit of improving the quality of care for people with Medicare and Medicaid.
