  • Co-developed methods to reveal disparities in risk-adjusted outcome measures by social risk factors such as dual eligibility status. Measures examined were used in CMS reporting and payment programs, such as the Hospital IQR and HRRP program. Engaged patients to collect input on the disparities methods and created public material for broader audience. Led testing activities to ensure re-endorsement of hospital-level outcome measures (such as risk adjusted readmission or mortality measures). Testing included assessing the impact of risk adjustment for social risk factors (dual eligibility and race/ethnicity). Prepared submission materials for NQF.
