The New York Quality Alliance (NYQA) is comprised of representatives from health plans, physician groups, businesses, consumers and government. The NYQA is funded to develop a uniform data aggregation and reporting project that will promote statewide quality performance improvements among health care practitioners. The overall goal of the statewide NYQA collaborative is to drive desired health outcomes that are consistent with current professional knowledge. Current evidence suggests that quality improvement can be realized through increased use of provider measurement, reporting, and payment incentives designed to promote high quality and efficiency. |
