The Discipline of Healthcare Quality: Measurement, Improvement, and Integration Across Providers and Payers (Healthcare Compliance & Quality Compendium)

Quality has appeared throughout this compendium without dedicated treatment: Volume 5 addressed NCQA accreditation and HEDIS as payer compliance obligations; Volume 4 addressed quality only incidentally to Conditions of Participation. This volume closes that gap, treating healthcare quality as its own discipline, spanning both the provider and payer sides of the healthcare system.
Written for quality officers, compliance leaders, and the attorneys who advise them, this volume treats quality measurement science, hospital and clinician quality programs, post-acute quality reporting, patient safety, accreditation, patient experience, Medicaid quality, behavioral health, telehealth, and the economics of quality as a unified discipline extended across forty chapters, closing with how quality connects to the enterprise compliance program this compendium built.
