Clinical Quality Measures play an instrumental role in measuring progress in the implementation and refinement of an MTF’s disease management or population health program, and have been integrated into the command’s medical management and quality management programs. Clinical Quality measures have also been incorporated in the MTF’s business plan and commands are rewarded for their performance on the Evidence-Based Healthcare (EBHC) and Public Health (e.g. tobacco) measures.
