The three organizations collaborated to develop the award in 2012 to recognize high performing practices committed to improving clinical measures including cholesterol screening, tobacco cessation counseling and cancer screenings, among others. Using health information technology to drive high-quality preventive services has been designated a priority for U.S. health care by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
