Policy Category: Evidence-Based Medicine

PMC advises organizations on the development of evidence-based standards and measures that are used to help assess the quality of health care. In 2021, for example, PMC encouraged the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) to adopt changes to its colorectal cancer (CRC) screening measure that would help align the measure with the value that molecularly guided testing strategies can provide for CRC patients in the era of personalized medicine.
