Rural Relevant Quality Measures for CAH's

The FLEX Monitoring Team (FMT) just released a Brief on rural relevant quality measures for Critical Access Hospitals (CAH). The purpose of the brief is to provide a set of rural relevant quality measure for policy makers and the rural health provider community. It is hoped that in this atmosphere of value based purchasing (VBP) and accountable care that this set of proposed measures can stimulate discussion and drive performance measurment of small, rural hospitals to another leve of meaning. For more discussion and access to the Brief, click here.
