The Performance Measure Groups feature of CAREWare produces a single report with multiple performance measures for an organization’s Clinical Quality Management Program, as well as for HIV Quality Management (HIVQM) reporting in the Electronic Handbook. Performance measure groups can include measures that are relevant to an organization, as well as measures chosen for the HIVQM program.
Instructions for HIVQM Setup are found here.
Exporting the measures requires four general steps.
