This document discusses ways that MedXM can help improve Star ratings for various healthcare measures. It outlines services like osteoporosis screenings through bone mineral density testing, diabetic retinopathy exams, post-hospital discharge visits to reduce readmissions, blood pressure screenings and control, and hemoglobin A1C testing to monitor and control diabetes. Performing these services through MedXM is suggested as a way to increase Star ratings by up to two stars on some measures.
