The demise of Performance Reporting with the NCQA Disease Management Accreditation

Well with life some things just fade away. With NCQA's announcement that that it will not be continuing with DM Performance measures in 2014 that will end the certification for the few companies that achieved this.  Well what happen? This program seem to have so much promise and then NCQA began to back off with making DM organization from making it mandatory to not required. It was being cited that it was too hard for companies to implement. However as the changes to supplemental went into effect it became quite clear that these two were related.  If member supplied data wasn't valid for HEDIS then it didn't make sense for DM companies to keep collecting because it wasn't considered reliable.  It's too bad because I don't think any time was spent studying if companies tracking DM measures had better results for their matching HEDIS measures. Once 2015 hits the last DM performance certification will fade into the sunset.
