Title V, SEC. 5005. EVALUATION AND REPORTING OF QUALITY PERFORMANCE. 
      (a) National Goals. In subject matter areas with respect to which the 
    National Quality Management Council determines that sufficient information 
    and consensus exist, the Council will recommend to the Board that it 
    establish goals for performance by health plans and health care providers 
    on a subset of the set of national measures of quality performance. 

      (b) Impact of Reform. The National Quality Management Council shall 
    evaluate the impact of the implementation of this Act on the quality of 
    health care services in the United States and the access of consumers to 
    such services. 

      (c) Performance Reports. 

        (1) Alliance and health plan reports. Each health alliance annually 
      shall publish and make available to the public a performance report 
      outlining in a standard format the performance of each health plan 
      offered in the alliance on the set of national measures of quality 
      performance. The report shall include the results of a smaller number of 
      such measures for health care providers who are members of provider 
      networks of such plans (as defined in section 1402(f)), if the available 
      information is statistically meaningful. The report also shall include 
      the results of consumer surveys described in section 5004 that were 
      conducted in the alliance during the year that is the subject of the 
      report. 

        (2) National quality reports. The National Quality Management Council 
      annually shall provide to the Congress and to each health alliance a 
      report that 

          (A) outlines in a standard format the performance of each regional 
        alliance, corporate alliance, and health plan; 

          (B) discusses State-level and national trends relating to health care 
        quality; and 

          (C) presents data for each health alliance from consumer surveys 
        described in section 5004 that were conducted during the year that is 
        the subject of the report.
