Understanding Core Measures
AAMC Core Quality Measure Scores
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), along with its collaborators in the Hospital Quality Alliance (HQA) and the nation's hospitals have worked together to create and publicly report hospital quality information.
The hospital quality measures on AAMC's web site show recommended care for some of the most common conditions that hospitals treat. Research has shown that these treatments provide the best results for most adults with those conditions that are an important part of the patients' overall care. You will see some of the recommended care that an adult should get if being treated for a heart attack, heart failure or pneumonia, or having surgery.
The graph listed below has quality measures scores on how often AAMC provides some of the recommended care compared to what other hospital average scores are across the state.
This information helps you, your health care provider, family, and friends compare the quality of care provided in the hospitals that agree to submit data on the quality of certain services they provide for certain conditions. This quality information not only helps you make good decisions about your health care, but also encourages hospitals to improve the quality of health care they provide.
