Quality Council 2025 Aligned Measure Set
Updated August 1, 2024
Background: The Aligned Measure Set is a set of 23 measures from which OHS requests insurers select measures for use in new value-based contracts. The Aligned Measure Set contains Core Measures and Menu Measures. Core Measures are those that OHS asks insurers use in all new value-based contracts. OHS has designated additional measures as Menu Measures. These measures are for optional use in new value-based contracts. Insurers are asked to restrict the quality measures they use in new value-based Advanced Network contracts to only those found in the Core and Menu Sets. OHS does not expect payers to amend existing contracts to align with these Core Measures, although it welcomes insurers willing to do so. For further guidance on how OHS recommends insurers and Advanced Networks implement the Aligned Measure Set, please see OHS’ Implementation Guidance document.
