Certification Performance Measurement Reporting

ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ integrates the receipt of performance measurement data into the certification process. The Certification Measure Information Process (CMIP) tool is applicable to all health care organizations that are currently certified or are seeking certification for the first time. The CMIP tool has an electronic form that hospitals use to submit certification performance measurement data and performance improvement information to ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥.

For any questions related to the Certification process, please contact your Account Executive directly.
