Eastpointe MCO is evaluated annually by External Review Organization(EQRO) to evaluate compliance with state and federal regulations. The review determines the level of performance demonstrated by Eastpointe. During our review in November, it was recommended that we develop and implement a written plan and process that will hold providers accountable for individual Quality Improvement Projects (QIPS).

Reason for selection:
Give a narrative of why your agency chose this as a project. What problem/issue were you to address? Why is this project important? Why did you chose this project?
Example:Frequently, member/enrollees failed to attend scheduled urgent appointments, despite follow up calls being made by the Member Call Center. Data indicated that 68.33 % of individuals determined to need urgent care were provided face to face service within 48 hours. The remaining 32% were not seen within 48 hours.
This Quality/Performance Improvement Project will assist the organization in achieving our goal that people in need receive appropriate services for recovery, growth and quality care. Timely access to care is critical to protect member’s health and safety, minimize adverse consumer outcomes and promote consumer engagement in services.
