The Health Care Quality and Management and outcomes movement in the United States is under-going radical transformation. These changes create numerous pressure points, both positive and negative, for a wide range of health care stakeholders including payors, providers, patients, and administrators. In large part, the challenge is to determine how best to evaluate and document the success of these clinical, financial, and technological initiatives.

While most agree in concept to implementing systems of accountability, few agree on how to measure and report on performance in a standardized manner. The primary goal is to create feedback that highlights what "really" impacts and improves the quality and efficiency of patient care.

ABQAURP is pleased to offer this "must attend" conference. Attendees will review the array of health care accountability initiatives and then learn how to assess the types of accountability methods we can employ to evaluate outcomes.

Conference participants will learn how to:

• Assess the next generation of health care quality and performance reporting initiatives
• Address the interface between quality processes and outcome measures
• Learn to evaluate health care quality and performance initiatives through quality evaluation processes
