Measure and Instrument Development and Support (MIDS 2)

Support the development and use of clinical quality measures which remains a critical healthcare priority and the tool of choice for improving quality of care at the national, community and facility levels. The MIDS Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract provides a vehicle to objectively evaluate and promote quality of care within the Federal quality reporting programs by aligning with the Measures Management System (MMS) Blueprint, a comprehensive and structured process for developing and maintaining evidence-based clinical quality measures.

The nature of highly technical work requires the expertise and services of qualified personnel, facilities, equipment, materials, and supplies not otherwise provided by the government, as needed to perform quality measurement program support activities. Measures program support, measures development, revision, and/or maintenance of assessment instrument data items, data collection vehicles, and quality measures implementation (and their corresponding manuals, public outreach and coordination of data elements and measures with other MIDS contractors) comprise the fundamental activities under the IDIQ contract.
