the CMS quality roadmap features five main strategies to achieve the goal of high-quality care:
- Work through partnerships – within CMS, with Federal and State agencies, and especially with non-governmental partners – to achieve specific quality goals.
- Develop and provide quality measures and information, as a basis for supporting more effective quality improvement efforts.
- Pay in a way that reinforces our commitment to quality, and that helps providers and patients take steps to improve health and avoid unnecessary costs.
- Assist practitioners and providers in making care more effective, particularly including the use of effective electronic health systems.
- Bring effective new treatments to patients more rapidly and help develop better evidence so that doctors and patients can use medical technologies more effectively.
