7 Strategies to Improve HEDIS Scores and Star RatingsHealthx
In recent years, achieving high scores on HEDIS® measures and Medicare Star Ratings has taken on greater importance for health plans. What was once nice-to-have for marketing purposes has become a must-have for operating in certain lines of business. Here’s why: NCQA Health Plan Accreditation, financial bonuses, and even a plan’s ability to enroll members can be affected by their ratings. If HEDIS Scores and Star Ratings are so important, why don’t more plans work to improve them?
Physicians complete guide to chronic care managementGaryRichards30
Senior citizens with one or more chronic conditions have a hard time managing their health. CMS was spending a lot of money on patient’s insurance who were suffering from chronic conditions. In order to cut down the expenses on hospital admissions, the CMS introduced the Chronic Care Management program. Patients usually visit their physicians for chronic care once or twice a year. With Chronic Care Management program, patient’s health improves due to increased attention and care. They can also spend less time on health issues and more on what they like to do.
The Chronic Care Management at CMS is intended to provide 20 minutes non face-to-face services for patients suffering from two or more chronic conditions by providers, they can either use mHealth or telehealth technology to fulfill the CCM criteria.
Transform Your Labor Cost Management Strategy: Introducing the Health Catalys...Health Catalyst
Labor costs encompass nearly 60 percent of the typical healthcare budget and are growing faster than healthcare systems can afford. COVID-19 responses only exacerbated this financial pressure. Controlling escalating labor costs means eliminating waste and using data to find where budgeted staffing hours exceed or fall short of patient needs. Most organizations have the wrong tools to understand labor demands and instead try to guess future patient volumes and staffing needs by using retrospective data that lacks timeliness.
The Health Catalyst PowerLabor application leverages augmented intelligence (AI)-powered forecasting capabilities to deliver accurate labor data to operational leaders. With timely workforce insight, health systems can close the gap between staff budgeting and future patient volumes, control labor expenses, and track progress toward budget and staffing targets.
Join John Hansmann, Senior Vice President of Strategic Consulting Operations at Health Catalyst, and Sean Latimer, Senior Director of Product Management at Health Catalyst, as they demonstrate how PowerLabor can help your organization increase productivity while ensuring resources for excellent patient care.
What You’ll Learn About PowerLabor:
• View Comprehensive Labor Data in One Place: Department and unit managers can analyze labor costs with an integrated view of all labor productivity data, including cost and hours, by system, location, department, team, and job role in one location.
• Proactively Schedule to Volume: With a complete view of categorized labor hours in relation to costs (e.g., contracts, premiums, overtime, and staffing mix), decision makers can easily identify labor trends, comparisons, and rollups across departments to accurately predict labor needs, plan for changes in staffing, and optimize staff to patient ratios.
• Drive Adoption with Expert Guidance: To maximize the PowerLabor application, Health Catalyst experts help categorize and refine data through an initial assessment and data integration from multiple data sources (e.g., EMR, billing, HR/payroll, time and attendance, and general ledger). Our implementation teams also provide train-the-trainer sessions to drive the most effective adoption.
Chronic care management services in federally qualified health centersGaryRichards30
It is not mandatory for FQHCs to furnish Chronic Care Management services for their patients. These services can be given in addition to any routine care coordination services already furnished as a part of the patient’s visit to FQHC. Though it is not mandatory for them to give CCM services, they can bill for the same if the CCM requirements are met. FQHCs are reluctant in giving CCM services to their patients as it is a laborious task. With increasing CCM requirements from CMS, FQHCs are worried about taking up the Chronic Care Management program. This is where HealthViewX can be useful. HealthViewX Chronic Care Management solution has features that solve most of the problems faced by FQHCs.

COVID-19 Emergency Financial Relief: Gas Pedal to the Floor, No Steering Wheel?Health Catalyst
Since the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress and the federal government have committed massive amounts of money to economic recovery across affected industries, with healthcare receiving hundreds of billions of dollars in emergency funding. Despite this push to inject capital into a shuttered economy, healthcare organizations have gotten surprisingly little in the way of direction on how they could spend these monies. Providers—a few of which are flush with cash and many struggling with a lack of working capital—now grapple with questions about how to spend sizeable sums of stimulus money legally and how to get their organizations on the road to recovery. Meanwhile, they wait for more guidance, knowing the inevitable waves of audits and enforcement are coming.
During this webinar, you will learn the following:
- How to appropriately receive and optimize COVID-19 relief funding.
- How to utilize relief funding in a compliant way.
- How to proactively prepare for audit and oversight.
- How to make data-informed decisions to prepare, prevent, recover, and plan during a global pandemic.

Putting Patients Back at the Center of Healthcare: How CMS Measures Prioritiz...Health Catalyst
Today’s healthcare encounters are too often marked by more clinician screen time than patient-clinician engagement. Increasing regulatory reporting burdens are diverting clinician attention from their true priority—the patient. To put patients back at the center of care, CMS introduced its Meaningful Measures framework in 2017. The initiative identifies the highest priorities for quality measurement and improvement, with the goal of aligning measures with CMS strategic goals, including the following:
Empowering patients and clinicians to make decisions about their healthcare.
Supporting innovative approaches to improve quality, safety, accessibility, and affordability.
Transforming Clinical Practice InitiativeCitiusTech
The Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPI) is designed to help small practices and clinicians achieve large-scale health transformation. The initiative is designed to support more than 140,000 clinician practices over four years duration in sharing, adapting and further developing their comprehensive quality improvement strategies. The TCPI is one part of a unique strategy advanced by the Affordable Care Act to strengthen the quality of patient care and manage health care expenditures, ultimately saving the taxpayer from substantial costs. This document describes the initiative in detail with the type of participants, eligibility and reporting requirements of the participants. Understanding the implementation of this initiative not only helps clinicians, but opens up a huge market for Healthcare IT companies offering the products and services like EHR implementation, Integration, EHR/ Data Migration, Implementation of HIE etc.
Due to popular demand, the Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) team hosted a repeat of the webinar that was originally held on Thursday, April 21, 2016. During this webinar Model team members provided an overview of the model specifically for health IT vendors.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

More than just a software company, we are advocates for provider
agencies through our technology & advisement solutions. Our products
& services span the complete spectrum of DD Service provision – from
oversight & insurance organizations down to the provider level.
21. Life Plan & Life Plan Updates
21
The Life Plan is central to the
individuals being served at
providers. Receiving it from the
MCO and documenting on it in
real time is essential. Each time
the Life Plan has a change made
and is certified – that update is
pushed to the provider into
Connect. The Life Plan is truly a
living document.
Provider
22. 22
The Life Plan automatically assigns the Person-Centered CQL Personal Outcome
Measures which are instantly presented to the DSPs to document on in the service
note area of Connect. Each service the individual receives will have a different set of
POMs based on the unique goals in the service.
Personal Outcome Measures
23. 23
Health & safety supports and individual protective oversight measures listed in the
Life Plan are alerted directly to providers via Connect for immediate implementation
and documentation. They can be pulled up at any time when working with the client,
including mobile and tablet devices.
Health & Safety Supports, IPOPs
24. Based on a client’s Life Plan, specific charts and logs might be necessary (e.g. sleep,
weight, food intake, seizure, etc). When the clinical team makes a request for
observational data, a specific chart will automatically be created in Connect for data to
be collected. Aggregate data collection will help the clinical team be proactive in
spotting trends or abnormalities in a person’s health.

Receive alerts in Connect
when units are authorized
or updates are made from
PHP. All of the information
necessary to provide
services comes pre-
packaged with the alert,
including the POMs and
goals service note
templates, total units and
plan information.
Service Authorizations
Provider
MCO/DISCO
26. The clinical team at the MCO and agency staff sends alert messages to all authorized
parties for changes to behavior, demographics, health, and natural supports. These
messages include a reason for change, priority level, immediate safeguard/action,
recommended follow-up and also free-form notes.
