1 Quality Performance Measures for Family Practice/Internal Medicine Clinic: Project #3 As a newly hired quality director at a large family practice/internal medicine outpatient clinic, you have been tasked with selecting performance measures to evaluate the clinic's quality. The clinic is in the early stages of measuring performance, and you are asked to select one structure measure, two process measures, and two outcome measures. Using the National Quality Measures Clearinghouse website (www.qualitymeasures.ahrq.gov), identify and select the most appropriate measures that can be applied to the clinic's operations. For each selected measure, complete the following steps: 1. Measure Description : Write the measure in descriptive terms (e.g., "Percent of patients who received a flu vaccine"). 2. Numerator and Denominator : Identify and explain the numerator and denominator used to calculate each measure. 3. Relevance : Justify why each measure is appropriate for a family practice/internal medicine clinic. Word Count Requirement : Your response should be between 600 - 800 words in total.
