MN Community Measurement and the Endocrine Society (ES) are pleased to announce the completion of measure specifications for a suite of new measures aimed at improving the health outcomes and reducing modifiable risks for patients with obesity. This measure development project included conducting a measure landscape and evaluation of measures used previously in the Obesity Care Model Collaborative.

The Specifications Engineering Group (SEG) and Technical Expert Panel (TEP) meetings concluded in October 2021 with the recommendation to proceed with obtaining public comment on four measures currently under consideration prior to the pilot testing phase.

MNCM and ES are seeking public comment on the following measures:

• Obesity Prediabetes and Diabetes A1c Control
• Obesity Weight Loss with Medication
• Obesity Diagnosis 
  
• Obesity Blood Pressure Control
