NCQA standards

NCQA (National Committee for Quality Assurance) standards set benchmarks for healthcare quality, focusing on how well health plans and providers deliver care, improve patient outcomes, and ensure patient safety. These standards evaluate aspects like preventive services, chronic disease management, patient engagement, and clinical performance. By meeting NCQA standards, healthcare organizations demonstrate they follow best practices, maintain high-quality care, and prioritize patient needs. Essentially, NCQA provides a trustworthy framework to assess and improve healthcare quality, helping patients receive consistent, effective, and safe care.
