Core Measures
Primaris has been a pioneer of core measures work with the Joint Commission (TJC) since 1999. We have trained hundreds of quality measure abstractors and advised clients on clinical documentation improvement since the original core measures pilot project.

Primaris abstractors maintain a >95% accuracy on inter-rater reliability (IRR) review. Recent averages have been 98%. We configure reporting and feedback processes to meet specific needs and use our experience of working with providers and platforms to suggest clinical documentation improvement that can improve scores.
