Acumentra Health has renewed its contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to serve as Oregon’s Medicare Quality Improvement Organization (QIO). Acumentra Health will work with Oregon healthcare providers to promote patient-centered care, make care safer and more affordable, and improve population health.
Healthcare quality improvement activities conducted by state-based QIOs are a key component of the National Quality Strategy to improve the quality and patient safety while lowering costs. In more than 20 years as Oregon’s QIO, Acumentra Health has worked as a convener and change agent with hospitals, nursing facilities, and physician practices throughout the state to develop and apply proven strategies for delivering safer, more efficient care.
“Our work with Oregon partners has succeeded in improving care for Medicare beneficiaries, and by extension for all Oregonians,” said Stacy Moritz, director of Medicare Quality Services for Acumentra Health. “We are proud of the real, measurable improvements made by the providers that have taken part in our Medicare initiatives.”
