Report of the Performance Measurement Workgroups October 24, 2006 At the April 26th meeting, the AQA directed the Performance Measurement Workgroup to continue its work in expanding the starter set of measures. Along with the Acute/ Chronic Care and Surgery/ Procedures Workgroups, the Performance Measurement Workgroup reviewed measurement sets in dermatology, rheumatology/ clinical endocrinology, radiology/ neurology, ophthalmology, surgery, and orthopedic surgery. The Workgroup also reviewed AHRQ’s CAHPS® Clinician and Group Survey. The Cost of Care Measures Workgroup developed a candidate list of conditions for cost of care measurement work and advanced a discussion document on cost of care measurement. The Performance Measurement Workgroup has reviewed these work products and referred them to the AQA for review and endorsement.
