Network Overview
The Quality Reporting and Improvement Network focuses on encouraging Texas hospitals to report quality measures and use their data to improve health care. Publicly reported data promotes quality improvement and transparency to help consumers make informed decisions about their health care.
TMF educates hospitals on the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) and Outpatient Quality Reporting (OQR) Program requirements and helps hospitals maximize their performance and participation in the programs.
Hospitals receive technical assistance with implementing and monitoring quality improvement efforts and education about the following quality reporting topics:
- Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services abstraction tools
- Inpatient and outpatient data warehouse infrastructure
- Measure and submission feedback reports
- Hospital IQR and OQR reporting requirements
- Abstraction accuracy
Critical access hospitals, rural facilities and hospitals that do not participate in the Hospital IQR or OQR programs but want to publicly report their data may also receive assistance.
