Has Your CAH Joined MBQIP?


Over 75% of CAHs across the country are participating in the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy’s (ORHP) Medicare Beneficiary Quality Improvement Project (MBQIP). This CAH initiative takes a proactive and visionary approach to ensure CAHs are well-equipped and prepared to measure and demonstrate quality. Through this program, ORHP will utilize the data CAHs submit to CMS for benchmarking, demonstrating improvements, sharing best practices, and generating reports to aid CAHs and states in quality improvement activities. There is information about MBQIP in this YouTube video from HRSA’s Senior Health Policy Advisor, Paul Moore. To sign up for MBQIP, contact jd@coruralhealth.org.
