Abstract
Throughout the 21st century, national and local governments, private health sectors, health insurance companies, healthcare professionals, labor unions, and consumers have been striving to develop an effective approach to evaluate, report, and improve the quality of healthcare. As medicine improves and health systems grow to meet patient needs, the performance measurement system of care effectiveness must also evolve. Continual efforts should be undertaken to effectively measure quality of care to create a more informed public, improve health outcomes, and reduce healthcare costs. As such, recent policy reform has necessitated that performance systems be implemented in healthcare, with the “performance measure” being the foundation of the system in which all of healthcare must be actively engaged in to ensure optimal care for patients. The development of performance measures can be highly complex, particularly when creating specialty-specific performance measures. To help dermatologists understand the process of creating dermatology-specific performance measures to engage in creating or implementing performance measures at the local or national levels, this article in the two-part continuing medical education series reviews the types, components, and process of developing, reviewing, and implementing performance measures.
