concepts to align with MSHIELD recommendations. Scores will be determined based on submission of at
least one month of data including race and ethnicity variables mapped to updated race and ethnicity
MPOG concepts by the end of December 2025. See P4P Scorecard for point distribution.

concepts by the end of December 2025. See P4P Scorecard for point distribution.
Measure #8: Sites will choose a measure where performance is above the ASPIRE threshold for inverse

Sites must submit their current measure score (November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2024) to the
Coordinating Center by Friday, December 6, 2024, for review and approval. Measure selection form is located

performance threshold is not met, ASPIRE Coordinating Center will assess initial 12-month average score
for November 2023 – October 2024 and compare to 12-month average score for January – December
2025. Absolute percentage point improvement will be evaluated to allocate points. See P4P Scorecard for
point distribution.
