Description
This session explores how the NCQA Birth Equity Accountability through Measurement (BEAM) team identified eight top-priority concepts for guiding equitable birthing care. Discover how NCQA’s stakeholder-informed process turns equity-driven concepts into practical quality measures with support from a nationwide learning network.
The learning network brings together health plans, community-based organizations, policy leaders and care delivery settings that differ in role, geography, digital maturity and the populations they serve. Join this session to see how we’re developing measures that hold the system accountable and improve outcomes for birthing people in historically marginalized communities.
