The  Quality Indicators (QIs) for Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Population are intended to reflect the health and well-being of beneficiaries receiving HCBS through state Medicaid programs. The indicators focus on the well-being of HCBS beneficiaries as reflected by potentially preventable hospitalizations. These include hospitalizations for specific conditions associated with chronic disease exacerbation and progression as well as poor access to care and support services.
