Recommendations for Improving the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Quality Measure Set

In 2024, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) updated the home and community-based services (HCBS) Quality Measure Set to standardize quality measures in HCBS programs across States and drive improvements in care and outcomes. Last year, the HCBS Quality Measure Set underwent a Workgroup review process to assess the existing measure set and recommend measures for removal from or addition, with the goal of strengthening and improving the 2028 HCBS Quality Measure Set.

Mathematica has released a final report summarizing the process and findings, “Recommendations for Improving the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Quality Measure Set: Summary of a Workgroup Review of the 2028 HCBS Quality Measure Set.”
