To encourage the consistent approach to using data for the improvement of hospital care,
the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association (BCBSA) in partnership with participating Blue
Plans launched the Blue Distinction Hospital Measurement and Improvement Program. Horizon
Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey is proud to be a participating Plan in this program.

The program integrates performance measures focusing on appropriateness of care and patient
safety into a national framework for improving hospital-based care delivery. The program
includes measures from two public sources – clinical measures focusing on heart attacks, heart
failure and pneumonia from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS); and patient safety
indicator measures from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
