Quality Improvement Initiatives - HEDIS Score Improvement

PHC’s Quality Improvement organization wide goals for 2019-2020 included three main focus areas: Well-Child Visits (W34), Asthma Medication Ratio (AMR) and Prenatal Postpartum Engagement Work Group (PPEW). Based on the measure(s) of focus, there was a cross-functional work group including department representation from: Health Analytics, Care Coordination, Claims, Health Education, Medical Directors, Pharmacy, Population Health Management, Provider Relations, and Quality Improvement. To measure success, work groups were assigned goals to achieve by June 30, 2020.

Well Child Visits (W34) • Workgroup Aim, Objectives and Focus Areas:

o Aim: Measurement year 2019 HEDIS results for the W34 measure will be above the 50th percentile for at least 2 regions and above the 25th percentile for all regions. Outcome: Based on preliminary HEDIS MY 2019, the goal was met with the

2 southern reporting regions performing above the 50th percentile and the 2 northern reporting regions above the 25th percentile.

o Objective: Drive improvement in Well Child visits through focus on the many activities around well child visits and inform the HEDIS Score Improvement Workgroup about efforts.

o Focus Areas: The workgroup identified over 20 deliverables that would be tracked across the following focus areas: Inform Well Child Work: PHC internal information, education and data

analysis. Track PHC Operational Changes: Follow operational changes that will

impact and improve well child performance rates (i.e. QIP, Birthday Club, ePrompts).

Deploy Resources to Optimize Provider Ability to Improve: Create and update resources available to providers that will impact and improve well child rates (i.e. training, provider informing materials, member facing materials available for providers to give to patients).

Conduct Performance Improvement Projects: Work with provider partners to conduct quality improvement projects around well child.

Employ PHC-Driven Member Engagement Strategies: Identify a Plan-Wide Strategy for Member In-Reach and Outreach.

• Accomplishments Contributing to Improved Performance:

o Well child measure insights were added into the provider scorecard developed by the PHC Claims department with QI were added in 25 NR provider scorecards.

o Conducted assessment of existing health education materials related to well child. Next fiscal year will focus on development of new materials for identified gaps.

o The Birthday Club targeting 3-6 year old members was implemented across PHC’s Northern Region. Significant efforts made towards deploying plan-wide, including vendor evaluation.

o Provider trainings completed, resources developed and updated (Quality Measure Highlights, well care dashboard, pocket guide, QIP program, Accelerated Learning 4/15/20 session).

o Initiated Priority and Health Equity PIPs, focusing on well-child visit measures W34 and W15, respectively.

Asthma Medication Ratio • Workgroup Aim and Objectives:

o Aim: Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC) aims to increase Asthma Medication Ratio (AMR) Regional Performance composite scores by 5% from mid-year 2018 to March 2020 (Note, this goal was revised to exclude impact from COVID-19). This goal was exceeded with a 6.28% increase. Per reporting in May 2020, the AMR plan-wide composite score improved from baseline of 59.97% to 66.25%.

o Objectives: Increase prescriber’s awareness of their patient’s asthma prescription

activity. New prescriptions and refills for all asthma medications within measured timeframe.

Increase member’s knowledge and engagement with managing their asthma and asthma medications, including appropriately coding for co-morbidities and alternative diagnoses.

Increase community pharmacists’ knowledge for the AMR HEDIS measure and promote engagement to improve AMR through patient consultation, increase controller medication dispensing, and monitor and reduce rescue inhaler dispensing as clinically appropriate.

Increase prescription fills, including 90 day supply fill, for asthma controller medication.

• Accomplishments Contributing to Improved Performance:

o Developed Academic Detailing Materials, which included measure specifications and best practices; to facilitate the education of provider organization.

o In collaboration with a Medical Director, Pharmacist, and QI representative, provided on-site education to over 15 Provider Sites and 7 Pharmacies.

o Developed custom reports on provider sites that received academic detailing to track progress on AMR rates.

o Created community outreach materials to educate members.

Prenatal and Postpartum Engagement Work Group (PPEW) • Workgroup Aim and Objectives:

o Aim: The PPEW team will ensure standardized engagement visits with 15 large perinatal providers by June 30, 2020.

o Objectives: All OB/Perinatal quality measures will be at or above the 50th percentile of Medicaid plans nationally, starting with MY 2019 (this year). These measures are grouped as follows: Initial OB visit, timely, depression screen Post-partum visits, timely, depression screen, contraception Vaccinations: TDap and Flu Hospital: Elective preterm delivery, NTSV C-section

• Accomplishments Contributing to Improved Performance:

o Developed core curriculum and message to share with practices across the regions with focus on: Quality Prenatal Care Current regional and local data PHC resources to support optimal outcomes.

o By June 30th, 2020 PPEW group will have provided site specific education to 22 provider organizations of which 15 are large organizations.

o Developed, distributed and received responses back from 25 sites that participated in the Perinatal.

o Practice Survey. The survey was developed to assess overall volume of perinatal services for Medi-Cal eligible patients in our network.
