Through its members, the ACR will not only lead the creation of rheumatology-related QPIs, but will strongly advocate for adoption of the ACR-endorsed QPIs by the health system and payors nationwide as the best practices for rheumatologic care. The ACR’s Quality Measures Committee is developing classification/response criteria, treatment guidelines and performance measures for rheumatic diseases that are both valid and practical for the practitioner.
