Clear Health Quality Institute (CHQI) Just Launched:
Annapolis, MD (PRWEB) March 17, 2017 -- Clear Health Quality Institute™ (CHQI) - a newly formed accreditation organization - promotes standards that incorporate the next generation of quality and outcome measures. CHQI will develop and offer an array of accreditation and certification programs, value-based purchasing standards and outcome measures.
“CHQI was formed in part to find new ways to update the traditional approach to accreditation in health care,” according to Garry Carneal, JD, MA, who is serving as Board Chair. “Many opportunities exist to rethink and improve how health plans, providers, and others meet quality-based standards and performance benchmarks. Today, health insurance functions and provider services are not always easily or appropriately regulated due to the complexity of those operations. CHQI is dedicated to creating new pathways to establish national measurement-based standards for emerging solutions in the health care marketplace.” Among other achievements, Carneal has supervised the development and launch of 22 health care accreditation programs since 1995.
CHQI is supported by a Board of Directors, along with several standards and accreditation committees. Volunteer experts representing different stakeholder perspectives populate each committee. The new organization also takes an educational approach to promoting quality operations and charges reasonable accreditation fees.
“With change occurring so rapidly in the health care field, it is imperative that regulations and accreditation standards keep pace with those innovations,” states Michael Gomes, former Executive Vice-President of BenefitMall and CHQI Board Member. “CHQI’s accreditation programs help assess, track and report on trends to enhance key insurance and provider outcomes. Unfortunately, many traditional accreditation organizations often fail to adopt more current standards and also create unnecessary administrative hurdles when processing applications. CHQI is committed to providing top level services in an efficient manner with fair pricing.”
