NCQA Accreditation standards are developed with input from various stakeholders and resources: health plans, population health management industry leaders and organizations, an expert panel and standing committees. These standards are purposely set high to encourage organizations to continuously enhance their quality.
“The Population Health Management programs moves us in greater alignment with the increased focus on person-centered population health management,” said Margaret E.
