Measure Selection, Alignment and Performance Benchmarking: A New Resource for States

Bailit Health

On October 12, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s State Health and Value Strategies program hosted a webinar, facilitated by experts at Bailit Health, on a new suite of publicly available resources that support states in their measure selection, alignment and performance benchmarking efforts. The Buying Value Benchmark Repository builds upon the Buying Value Measure Selection Tool and is a downloadable database of non-HEDIS and modified HEDIS measures that states and regional health improvement collaboratives are using for reporting, payment or other purposes. State purchasers can use the database for measure selection and benchmarking purposes as non-HEDIS and modified HEDIS measures rarely have national benchmarks which states can employ to assess and perhaps reward provider, ACO or MCO performance in value-based payment arrangements.

During the webinar technical experts from Bailit Health provided an overview of the repository and discussed how states can both utilize the tool and contribute measures to it. The webinar also reviewed the resources available through Buying Value to support measurement selection. These resources are publicly available to download and use, and the Measure Selection Tool can be customized to support measure alignment and selection processes.
