Finding success for health plans means that you need to strictly follow the HEDIS Quality Measures. However, these measures are always changing and the nitty gritty details of these wordy performance measures can be hard to assess. If you are looking to improve your HEDIS performance throughout 2017, there are a few things that you might want to consider doing. With the financial success of your plan depending on how you rate, taking these measures seriously is of the utmost importance.
Look Back at Last Year
They say hindsight is 20/20, so by looking back at what went well and what failed last year you can get a better idea of what areas you need to improve in. Take some time to look back and review what was successful and what needs some work.
Stay Up to Date on Changing Measures
HEDIS Quality Measures change annually and 2017 was no exception. There were changes to several measures and a few new measures added. It is crucial that you stay up to date on these measures, as they dictate your overall success. Be sure to take a look at what changed in 2017 and ensure that you are incorporating the changing and new measures this year.
Develop a Training Plan
HEDIS performance is not a one person job, it is something that falls on your whole team’s shoulders. That is why anyone coming into the loop, needs a formal training to make sure that they are brought up to speed and doing things properly. It is also a good idea to gather the team for a refresher every year to keep everyone motivated and on the same page.
Stay Up to Date
While there are looming deadlines for HEDIS, it is easy to become bogged down and lose sight of the finish line. It shouldn’t be a rush to finish your submission, rather something that happens over the length of the year. Start your chart retrieval and abstractions in March to ensure that you are staying on track. It can be easy to fall behind and with stringent guidelines, it can be very hard to catch up again.
