Quality Healthcare Measuring NP Performance

Your introduction should identify your chosen HEDIS performance measure that you selected from within the six domains of care. Examples of HEDIS performance measures include Adult BMI Assessment, Prenatal and Postpartum care, Fall Risk Management, etc. Provide a brief overview of the selected performance measure, including why you selected this particular measure. Include a purpose statement, which describes the purpose, scope, and direction of the paper. It tells the reader what to expect in the paper and what the focus will be. Your introduction should be no more than 1-2 paragraphs.
