Historical Data- Tier 1 Measures
 Tier 1 implemented April 2008
 Initial numbers indicated significant room for
improvement, though not necessarily a lack of
quality care.
 Focus on improving numbers resulted in
drastic change between RW 2007-2008 and
RW 2008-2009.

Tier 2 and 3 Measures
 Tier 2 measures should be used by established
programs to further efforts to improve the
quality of care delivered to clients.
 Tier 3 measures represent "best practice“
areas, but may lack written clinical guidelines
or rely on data that are difficult to collect.
 Reporting for Tier 3 Measures is being created by
BVCOG data manager, so accurate data is not
available at this time.
