Table displays the factor loadings of the 10 quality measures across the 306 HRRs. Loadings represent the correlations between each quality measure with the underlying factor. 29.6% of the variability of the 10 measures can be explained by the one‐factor analysis. Standardized factors were correlated with total spending.

DMARDs, disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs; PQIs, prevention quality indicators.
