SoftDev is proud to be one of eight small business prime awardees and the first recipient of a small business task order, the CMS / Alignment of Public and Quality Reporting Programs and Websites (APQPRW) on the MIDS vehicle.
The purpose of the Measure & Instrument Development and Support (MIDS) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Umbrella Statement of Work (USOW) is to develop outcome, process, structural, cost and composite quality measures suitable for endorsement by a consensus endorsement entity and reflective of quality care for healthcare settings, such as psychiatric hospitals, ambulatory care services, physician providers, accountable care organizations, nursing homes, home health agencies, hospice programs, long-term care hospitals, in-patient rehabilitation facilities, PPS-exempt cancer hospitals, acute care hospitals, and ambulatory surgical centers. Its purpose is to also support the collection of data that could be used to trend quality related to patient care for those patients that move across settings, as well as other uses related to cross-setting analysis. Such quality care measures would include any aspect of care that is consistent with the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) Six Aims of Care (safety, timeliness, efficiency, effectiveness, equitability and patient centeredness), is consistent with the National Quality Strategy (NQS), and is in alignment with CMS’ three Aims (Better Care, Better Health, Lower Costs through Improvement) and Quality Measurement Strategy.
