A key aspect was to determine outcomes that are most rele- vant for patients. A complete list of the desirable outcomes identi ed by the writing committee and how they relate to the proposed process measures is included in the measure speci cations that can be found at http://www.ama-assn. org/apps/listserv/x-check/qmeasure.cgi?submit PCPI. 2.2. Dimensions of Care Given the multiple measurable domains of providing care, the writing committee identi ed and explicitly articulated the relevant dimensions of care that should be evaluated. As part of the methodology, each potential performance measure was categorized into its relevant dimension of care (Table 2). Classi cation into dimensions of care facilitated identi cation of areas in which evidence was lacking and prevented duplication of measures within the set. Diagnostics, patient education (including on the topics of prognosis and etiology), treatment, self-management, and Table 2. 2013 ACC/AHA/SCAI/AMA-PCPI/NCQA Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Performance Measure Set: Dimensions of Care Measures Matrix* Measure Name Diagnostics Patient Education Treatment Self-Management Monitoring of Disease Status 1.
