"This kind of project shows how valuable Medicare can be as a responsible public health agency and much more than just a payer of healthcare services," said Weems. "CMS aims to continuously improve care, learn and share the methods that improve care, and inform providers and the public about changes that can become standards for quality of care."
Qualis Health, the QIO for Washington State, coordinated the project for CMS. The QIO Program consists of 53 independent organizations under contract with CMS and is a key component in CMS' efforts to improve quality in nursing homes and other healthcare settings, including hospitals, home health agencies, and physician offices.
