About PQA Measures
Safe and appropriate medication use is essential for successful treatment and better patient outcomes. PQA quality measures assess appropriate use, safety, adherence and medication management services that drive person-centered, value-based care. More than 150 million people are enrolled in health plans that report PQA measure results, making them among the most impactful tools for optimizing medication therapy, driving positive impacts for patients, and substantial costs avoided for the health care system as a whole.
