The hospital workgroup, chaired by the AHA, meets and the post-acute care workgroup meets ; both meetings are open to the public. The MAP is a public-private partnership convened by The National Quality Forum and CMS to provide input to the HHS Secretary on the selection of performance measures for public reporting and performance-based payment programs.
