These nine Core Measures include the administration of aspirin at arrival, the prescription of aspirin, beta-blockers and statins (as appropriate) upon discharge, the use of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor (ACEI) or Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB) for all patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction ( ...

Six Quality Aims Safe, effective, patient-centered, and timely are each explicitly included in the quality care core measures (patient safety, evidence-based care, care match with patient goals, and care access).

The proposed five core measures represent the first step in operationalizing evidence-based developmental care (Figure 2). The core measures are protected sleep, pain and stress assessment and management, activities of daily living (positioning, feeding and skin care), family-centred care and the healing environment.

Core measures focus on four sets of criteria: Research — providing patient care supported by strong scientific evidence. Proximity — offering care with few “pit stops” between diagnosis and improved patient outcomes. Accuracy — measuring the effectiveness and efficiency of care to help make positive outcomes more likely.

Core measures are basic to gauging the overall health of the nation; performance in health and health care at various levels; and how performance compares from organization to organization, community to community, state to state, and country to country.

So, core measures are national standards of care for common conditions like diabetes and heart failure. Additional examples of core measures include instructions for tobacco screening and cessation, treatment of hypertension, and the scheduling of childhood immunizations.

Core measures are a set of care or treatment standards identified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and/or The Joint Commission (TJC) that have been shown through best scientific evidence to decrease the risk of complications, prevent recurrences, and improve patient clinical outcomes overall.
