White paper, online training, upcoming session highlight PCO measure best practices

By asking individuals with complex care needs “what matters most?” person-centered outcome (PCO) measures drive care that aligns with people’s personal health goals, and encourage organizations throughout the care continuum to work together in an integrated manner.

The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) convened multidisciplinary experts to review the current landscape of goal attainment scaling methodology and identify best practices for implementing the method with diverse audiences. The learnings from these convenings contributed to the following:

  1. Advancing Best Practices for Goal Attainment Scaling (white paper)
  2. Using Goal Attainment Scaling (online training module)

These resources can help health care delivery systems and other entities start documenting what matters most to an individual in a structured way.

Finally, a session at NCQA’s Health Innovation Summit will focus on current efforts to test the PCO measures (October 25, 2:50 pm ET). Register today.
