This is a graded discussion: 10 points possible due Feb 14 46 46 Discussion 2: Using Quality Positioning System (QPS) The Quality Positioning System of the National Quality Forum (www.qualityforum.org/QPS /) contains numerous measures of healthcare performance. Instructions: Imagine you have been hired as quality director, a newly added position in a primary care (family practice) outpatient clinic. The office manager asks you to select evidence-based performance measures that can be used to judge the quality of patient care provided by clinic physicians, nurse practitioners, and clinical staff. You know that performance can be evaluated in three categories: Structure Process Outcome You want to identify measures for each category. You go to the Quality Positioning System of the National Quality Forum (www.qualityforum.org/QPS/) to find measures that would be relevant for use in a primary care clinic. Since the primary care clinic is just starting to measure performance, you don't want to overwhelm them with too many different measures. So you decide to select one structure measure, two process measures, and two outcome measures. Do some research on the Internet if you are unfamiliar with the types of patients and conditions seen in a primary care clinic. Post your measures organized as a table (see below) and explain why you chose these measures. Engage with at least two peers providing contructive feedback on their measures.
