NPP Input on Three Sets of Strategies to Achieve the Aims of the NQS  One: A national strategy for data collection, measurement and reporting that supports measurement-based improvement so we know “how we are doing” against the NQS  Two: Community infrastructure (public-private) responsible for improvement efforts, resources for benchmarking and comparing performance, and mechanisms to identify, share and evaluate progress  Three: Payment and delivery system reform—emphasizing primary care—that rewards value over volume and promotes patient-centered outcomes, efficiency, and appropriate care while reducing waste 12

Our Collective Opportunity 13 Improving health and healthcare quality and affordability by:  Focusing on the same priorities/goals (we know we can’t do everything) – and sending unified signals with incentives/rewards  Collaborating with communities to foster healthy behaviors, key to health and well being  Using the same data platforms, measures and public reporting approaches  Removing fragmentation & complexity by coordinating across the public and private sectors The time is now to make our shared vision a reality.
