4 Key Measurement Principles for Meeting Triple Aim of Healthcare Reform

The Institute for Healthcare Improvement shared four key measurement principles that apply to healthcare reform's triple aim of improving quality, enhancing population health and reducing cost in a report.

The report, "A Guide to Measuring the Triple Aim: Population Health, Experience of Care, and Per Capita Cost," includes suggestions for how hospitals can measure their progress in meeting healthcare reform goals.

The four measurement principles include the following:
•    The need for a defined population.
•    The need for data over time.
•    The need to distinguish between outcome and process measures, and between population and project measures.
•    The value of benchmark or comparison data.
