Care Coordination Measures Atlas

Chapter 5. Measure Maps and Profiles

In the first section of this chapter we present three Master Measure Mapping Tables, one for each perspective— Patient/Family, Health Care Professional(s), and System Representative(s). In the second section of this chapter, we present specific measure mapping tables for each individual measure and profiles detailing information about each measure.

Master Measure Mapping Tables

Tables 5, 6, and 7 are Master Measure Mapping Tables for the three care coordination perspectives— Patient/Family, Health Care Professional(s), and System Representative(s), respectively. The tables indicate which measures focus on each of the care coordination domains for each perspective. The measure numbers seen in the Master Measure Mapping Tables correspond to the numbers assigned to each measure in Table 8.

Measure Profiles

This section contains measure mapping tables specific to each individual measure. Each individual measure mapping table is followed by a measure profile designed to provide more detailed information on the measure's purpose, format and data source, perspective, validation and testing, links to outcomes, applications, and key sources. The measure profiles also identify the specific measure items (i.e., survey questions or measure components) that map to each domain. Table 8 below is an index to the measure numbers (far left column) cited in the Master Measure Mapping Tables and the order in which the individual measure mapping tables and profiles appear.
