JCAHO publishes indicators for plans and networks
The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations in Oakbrook Terrace, IL, has released the National Library of Healthcare Indicators: Health Plan and Network Edition (NLHI), the nation’s first comprehensive compendium of validated performance measures for health plans and networks.
NLHI has 225 indicators that can be used to assess the performance of health plans, integrated delivery networks, provider sponsored organizations and other emerging delivery systems. Each indicator has its own profile that:
• defines the measure;
• describes its focus and rationale;
• details its characteristics, including risk adjustment and stratifications, if any;
• portrays its applicability to various health care delivery settings;
• delineates the degree to which the indicator has been formally tested.
The indicators are divided into four broad categories and include 123 clinical performance measures, 20 health status measures, seven satisfaction measures, and 75 administrative/financial measures. The NLHI is available for $25. To order, call the Joint Commission’s Customer Service Center at (630) 792-5800 and use the code NLHI-96EM.
