Committees
The Metrics and Scoring Committee recommends outcome and quality measures for the CCO Quality Incentive Program.
The Health Plan Quality Metrics Committee was established in 2015 to identify health outcome and quality measures that may be applied to services provided by coordinated care organizations or paid for by health benefit plans sold though the health insurance exchange or offered by the Oregon Educators Benefit Board or the Public Employees’ Benefit Board.
Workgroups
The Metrics TAG developed recommendations for operationalizing and implementing CCO incentive measures.
Oregon is leading the nation in developing a strategy to engage the health sector in kindergarten readiness. A four-part measurement strategy was developed by the Health Aspects of Kindergarten Readiness Workgroup and was endorsed by both the Metrics and Scoring Committee and Health Plan Quality Metrics Committee. The first two metrics were included in the 2020 CCO Incentive Measure Set. Partners at the Oregon Pediatric Improvement Partnership and Children’s Institute, in close partnership with OHA, have been leading work to develop a new system-level metric focused on identifying and connecting young children with social emotional health needs to services.
