Clinical Quality Measures (CQM)

Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs) are standards used to evaluate the quality of healthcare services provided by doctors and hospitals. They are based on specific health outcomes, processes, or patient experiences that indicate how well care is being delivered. CQMs help ensure that patients receive effective, safe, and consistent care by tracking aspects like preventive screenings, management of chronic conditions, and patient safety. These measures are used by healthcare providers, insurers, and regulators to improve healthcare quality, support informed choices, and promote accountability in medical practice.
