Sep 14, 2018

For Kristin Cox, MD, an internist and a program director at Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Massachusetts, the real value comes from the fresh eyes.

“Residents are in a perfect position to evaluate the systems we’re using,” she says. “They see best practices, what works, and what doesn’t work. They see every department on days, nights, and weekends. They see every aspect of the hospital.”

And seeing those things can lead to improvements — improvements in systems within the hospital, improvements within care teams, and, most importantly, improvements for patients. Those improvements are central to a unique QI-themed training program for residents at Newton-Wellesley. Read More →

Health Leaders: Build Brand Loyalty By Focusing on Patient Experience
Sep 9, 2018

A Google study released this month finds that customer experience is the primary reason consumers choose to travel with a particular brand. Easy-to-use websites and online reviews are second and third.

What does this have to do with healthcare? Quite a bit, according to experts in customer experience, a field that is becoming increasingly important to health systems. Thanks to new ways to gather and organize data, health systems now have actionable information to improve patient experience, often in real time. These processes are enhanced by technology that uses natural language processing to detect patterns in that data. Read More →

The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) is proud to announce NCQA’s eMeasure testing laboratory is now approved by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC).  As an ONC-Authorized Testing Lab (ONC-ATL), NCQA can perform health IT tests as part of the ONC Health IT Certification program.

NCQA is the only approved alternative to this government-based electronic quality measure testing procedure. With this approval, health IT and data vendors can use the NCQA generated test decks for two certifications; ONC HIT Certification for use in reporting electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) to CMS for the Quality Payment Program; as well as NCQA eMeasure certification for use in NCQA’s recognition for Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) and as a standard supplemental dataset in support of HEDIS reporting. Read More →

Collaborating with public health and community organizations to foster informed decision-making can help Medicaid entities better address the social determinants of health (SDOHs), says new guidance issued by the National Quality Forum (NQF).

An expert panel assembled by NQF found that Medicaid programs are well positioned to positively impact food insecurity and housing-related SDOH among their beneficiary populations, but only if they work closely with other organizations in their communities. Read More →

Health Affairs: Dually Enrolled Beneficiaries Have Higher Episode Costs On The Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary Measure
Jan 15, 2018

Cost measures are a growing part of Medicare’s value-based payment programs. Medicare Spending per Beneficiary (MSPB) is the cost measure included in Medicare’s Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program. Beneficiaries who are dually enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid are known to have higher spending on care, but it is unknown whether spending on the MSPB measure varies based on dual enrollment and whether this has implications for the performance of safety-net hospitals. Read More →

However, the term itself dates back to a concept first-introduced by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in 1967.

North Carolina Medicaid Opens the Door for Collaborative Care
Sep 11, 2018

When the state of North Carolina set out to transform Medicaid over 3 years ago, many in the behavioral health world cringed.

The public behavioral health community has undergone some form of change about every five years for the last 20 years; from the days of community mental health centers, to the formation of the Local Management Entity (LME) system and the current LME/MCO structure.

Each of these major changes have required flexibility and resilience on the part of those working in the public mental health arena, particularly as they seek to help confused consumers navigate the continual system changes. However, as Medicaid Transformation has unfolded, a little ray of sunshine has emerged, symbolizing that we just might be moving toward an era of better care for patients with behavioral health needs.
