Kentucky Core Healthcare Measures Set

Driving health improvements through measurement alignment

Healthcare quality and cost measurement aims to provide better, more affordable care for individuals and the community. Measuring and incenting the right things is important but doing so requires experts to agree on what those things should be.

Creating a core set of healthcare measures to focus and align priorities is the first step toward aligning incentives around the things that matter. Experts from across the Commonwealth of Kentucky have created the Kentucky Core Healthcare Measures Set (KCHMS), which brings together the priorities of consumers, providers, payers, and purchasers. By focusing on everything, we focus on nothing. But by focusing on the right things, we can drive improvements.

About the Measures Set

The Kentucky Core Healthcare Measures Set consists of 38 primary care measures, intended to align measurement efforts toward shared areas of focus. This makes Kentucky one of the first states in the nation to create a healthcare measurement set.

“It was really exciting to contribute to such an important endeavor, joining with various stakeholders from around the state, working collectively to improve the health of the Commonwealth. By standardizing and aligning around key quality metrics, we are aiming to move the needle on population health, right here in Kentucky.”

Misty Roberts | Associate Vice President, Clinical Quality Officer | Humana Inc.
