This session will help clinicians and researchers better understand how quality metrics are developed, validated, endorsed, and finally approved for use. Learning Objectives: (1) describe the organizations and processes that ultimately result in quality metrics that are rolled out to health professionals; (2) identify the different roles played by various organizations in the quality metric process, including AGS, NCQA, Battelle and CMS; and (3) review the various ways to influence the quality metric development process, including engaging with AGS and the QPMC as well as contributing to public comments to CMS and other organizations.
