Expect practical insights on reducing administrative headaches while maximizing the impact of quality data aggregation, validation and reporting.
Plus, a look ahead at what’s coming for quality reporting in 2025. Tune in to rethink your quality reporting program—and turn it into a competitive advantage.

Takeaways
- Quality reporting in healthcare is a challenge for hospitals, health systems, medical groups, and health plans for three reasons: cost, complexity and change.
- Savvy organizations work to extract value from the quality reporting efforts in the form of proactive insights to improve care delivery.
- There are eight steps in the quality reporting process and most organizations aren’t adequately staffed to go at it alone. These steps include quality measure definition and codification, data collection, ensuring clean data, data validation, deleting duplicates and inappropriate entries, correcting structural errors, discarding outliners, and submission.
- A strong quality reporting program includes detection, rules and standards, data governance, and AI governance.
- Quality reporting programs, measures and deadlines vary and are constantly changing. For example, ACOs must move to electronic clinical quality measures (eCQM) reporting but the deadline keeps getting pushed out.
- The use of FHIR and other modern technology tools continue to reduce cost and administrative burdens associated with clinical quality measure reporting.
