November 2019

During the 2019 LAN Summit in Washington, DC, Discern Health Director Theresa Schmidt joined colleagues from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Duke University Medical Center, Pacific Business Group on Health, and Project Patient Care for the panel “Quality Measurement: Getting to Better Measurement of Patient Engagement and Experience.”

The panel addressed efforts underway to collect data from patients about their health care experiences and outcomes and applications for the data to improve patient care and experience. Theresa’s presentation focused on findings from Discern’s recent research on patient-reported measures for oncology with the National Pharmaceutical Council, including available cross-cutting measures, barriers to implementation, and recommendations for developing and appropriately using patient-reported performance measures.
