QUALITY METRICS WORKGROUP

The Quality Metrics Workgroup will oversee the development and adoption of new quality measures by PQA.  Based on their expertise and interests, workgroup members should select one of three subgroups.  While the subgroups will meet monthly, the full Quality Metrics Workgroup will have quarterly conference calls to provide updates on subgroup activities and to allow members to provide feedback on all measure development/adoption activities.
