CMS Seeks Experts for Developing Measures about Transitions of Care
Nominations Accepted through August 21, 2009
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) seeks a technical expert panel (TEP) to provide input for the development of the Care Transitions measures. We are specifically working to develop a community all-cause 30-day re-hospitalization measure and a measure of physician follow-up after hospitalization.
A TEP is a group of stakeholders and experts who provide input to the measure contractor on the development, selection, and maintenance of measures for which the contractor is responsible. Convening the TEP is one important step in the measure development or reevaluation process that ensures transparency and allows an opportunity to obtain balanced, multi-stakeholders input.
Recognized experts in the relevant fields including clinicians, statisticians, quality improvement experts, methodologists, and pertinent measure developers are being recruited to provide input on the measures under development. TEP members are chosen to provide input based on their personal experience and training. The TEP is chosen to represent a diversity of perspectives and backgrounds.
Visit our Web site https://www.cms.hhs.gov/apps/QMIS/CallforTEP.asp for details and to download the Nominations form. CMS will accept nominations through Friday, August 21, 2009.
Please share this message with anyone else you think may be interested in serving on the TEP for these measures. Thank you for your support of the Medicare Quality Program in improving the care of all Americans.
