The article also highlights the key constituents driving performance measurement (government payers, private sector regulators, business coalitions, health care providers, and health care consumers), how they have influenced what is measured (the content of performance measurement), and why. The article concludes by establishing the commonalities among constituents and forecasts what the foreseeable future may hold regarding performance measurement.
