    It's important to have data informing many of the big decisions we make in life. Here at EOHHS, we follow the same practice by making client outcome data a very real part of our day-to-day conversations and using it as a key input for policy and programmatic decisions. Through EHSResults, we are now providing senior staff with easy access to meaningful data, enabling more informed decision-making.

  • Special Commission on the Health Care Payment System

    As required under Section 44 of the Acts of 2008, the Special Commission must investigate reforming and restructuring the payment system to provide incentives for efficient and effective patient-centered care and to reduce variations in the quality and cost of care.

  • Special Commission on Provider Price Reform


  • Statewide Quality Advisory Committee

    The Statewide Quality Advisory Committee (SQAC) members will make recommendations to the Department of Public Health (DPH) for promulgation of quality-related measures.  This committee will examine and publicly report recommendations for a standard set of health care quality measures for each health care provider facility, medical group or provider group in the Commonwealth.  

    This uniform set of quality measures will also help health care providers monitor their progress toward achieving quality improvement goals and reducing unnecessary health costs. This overarching process of increased transparency and accountability will culminate in an environment that promotes low-cost, efficient, and high-quality management of patient health and encourages better integration of health care delivery in Massachusetts.
