Quality Measures

Clinical quality measures (CQMs) play an increasingly important role in evaluating the quality of care provided to patients. The AAAAI is the steward of several asthma measures originally developed by the PCPI Foundation and National Committee for Quality Assurance. Additionally, the AAAAI is actively involved in the development and maintenance of quality measures through our Measure Stewardship committee and through the work of the Joint Task Force on Quality and Performance Measurement, a task force consisting of members of the AAAAI and ACAAI. The following measures and measurement sets are pertinent to the allergy/immunology specialty. For more information, please e-mail quality@aaaai.org.
