Medicare’s Quality Improvement Organization Program: Maximizing Potential
(Series: Pathways to Quality Health Care)
Requested by Congress in P.L. 108-173, this new report examines the Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) program in detail and proposes a major restructuring so that it can become an important national resource integral to strategies of performance measurement, public reporting, and payment incentives. The QIO program should focus on offering, through its infrastructure in each state, technical assistance to providers and practitioners aimed at building their capacity for quality improvement.
These series of briefings were for members of Congress and congressional staff only. The report was publicly released on March 9, 2006 and can be found, in its entirety, on the Web site of the National Academies Press.
