There is an increasing national focus on measuring, reporting, and rewarding the provider’s quality of care based on objective measures of performance (1). The conceptual and methodological issues underlying the development of individual performance measures have previously been described (2), yet little has been written about the methods used to combine multiple individual metrics into summary or “composite” performance measures. The goals of this document are to 1) explore the uses of, and challenges associated with, composite performance measures in assessing healthcare quality; 2) discuss methods used in their creation; and 3) set forth some general principles for appropriate development, validation, application, and interpretation of composite measures.
