Participants from consumer advocacy groups, providers, payers, and professional and trade organizations worked together over the course of a year to help the New York State Department of Health refine its approach to quality reporting. UHF synthesized the workgroups’ recommendations in two separate reports for NYSDOH, which are now public.
The final recommendations of the Hospital Quality Rating Workgroup are presented here; a separate publication presents the recommendations of the Primary Care Quality Rating Workgroup.
