NQF is seeking comments on three proposed quality measures related to prediabetes. While there are numerous measures related to diabetes, this is the first time measures are being proposed specifically for prediabetes. Quality measures are used for many purposes, including identifying what works to drive improvement and identifying disparities in care delivery and outcomes. In addition, quality measures are becoming increasingly important relative to payment as the health care system shifts from fee for service to value-based care.
The three proposed measures are:
- NQF#3569 – Prediabetes: Screening for Abnormal Blood Glucose
- NQF#3570 – Intervention for Prediabetes
- NQF#3571 – Retesting of Abnormal Blood Glucose in Patients with Prediabetes
