Improving measure maintenance processes: Lessons from the Entresto Case Study

Background: To be effective, quality measures must communicate clear, evidence-based standards of quality care. When the evidentiary foundation for a measure changes, revisions must be made quickly and communicated clearly; otherwise, measures can confuse providers trying to reconcile the evidence-based quality of care they provide with outdated specifications. Outdated measures can also affect clinical decision-making, potentially harming patients or prohibiting patients from receiving treatment that could optimize clinical outcomes.
