1 Quality Advance Program 2016 Overview- Connecticut Health Services January 1, 2016
2 QUALITY ADVANCE PROGRAM Introduction Harvard Pilgrim supports the Provider Group s efforts to manage the cost, quality, and patient experience of their patients care by encouraging and rewarding investments and improvements in infrastructure support, health information technology, and HEDIS measure performance. The Quality Advance Program (QAP) consists of the following initiatives: 1. Infrastructure Support Program 2. Health Information Technology 3. Rewards for Excellence By October 1 of each calendar year, the Plan will give written notice to Provider Group, pursuant to the Agreement, of the terms and criteria that will apply to the Quality Advance Program for the subsequent calendar year. I. Infrastructure Support Program (ISP) The Infrastructure Support Program (ISP) provides support to the Provider Group and Medical Director. There are four components to the ISP measure. The Provider group must 1) have a Medical Director, 2) the Medical Director must meet their responsibilities, 3) the Provider Group must implement two Infrastructure Support initiatives- one in the area of Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) transformation and one in the area of Efficiency, and 4) conduct a Cultural Competency self-assessment, as more fully described below. Medical Director The Medical Director is the liaison between Harvard Pilgrim and the Provider Group to support collaborative efforts to deliver high quality, cost-efficient, patient centered care to Harvard Pilgrim members through the oversight of the QualityAdvance Program and other initiatives. Responsibilities of the Medical Director include, but are not limited to, the following: Supports Provider Group physicians and promotes the adoption of evidence-based health care delivery Designs and implements provider group-wide population management programs Regularly reviews performance data to identify and manage outlier performance and drivers of practice variation across the provider group Provides regular updates to provider group about Harvard Pilgrim products, policies, performance payment and recognition programs Facilitates local physician recognition and reward programs related to performance on Harvard Pilgrim s quality strategic quality initiatives Assists with the resolution of Harvard Pilgrim care delivery issues and provider-related concerns Ensures compliance with HIPPA requirements and confidentiality of all Harvard Pilgrim proprietary information Attends Harvard Pilgrim Medical Directors meetings, twice annually as scheduled Ensures submission of the an annual Business Plan and 2 updates, detailing 2 initiatives as described below Quality Advance Overview 2016 CT FINAL Page 2 of 16
3 Infrastructure Support Initiatives: The Provider Group will submit a Business Plan and two (2) updates detailing two (2) improvement initiatives (as more fully described in Appendix 2): 1. one initiative to support the transition of its practices to a Patient Centered Medical Home care delivery model 2. one network-wide initiative to support improved care delivery efficiency (appropriate utilization and reduced total cost of care) Table 1: PCMH Initiative Topic Choices The Provider Group implements one (1) multi-practice initiative aligned with NCQA PCMH standards. Detailed information about PCMH standards is available on the NCQA public website PCMH 1: Patient-Centered Access. The practice provides access to team-based care for both routine and urgent needs of patients/ families/ caregivers at all times. PCMH 2: Team-Based Care. The practice provides continuity of care using culturally and linguistically appropriate, team-based approaches. PCMH 3: Population Health Management. The practice uses a comprehensive health assessment and evidence-based decision support based on complete patient information and clinical data to manage the health of its entire patient population. PCMH 4: Care Management and Support. The practice systematically identifies individual patients and plans, manages and coordinates care, based on need. PCMH 5: Care Coordination and Care Transitions. The practice systematically tracks tests and coordinates care across specialty care, facility-based care and community organizations. PCMH 6: Performance Measurement and Quality Improvement Cultural Competency Self-Assessment: Harvard Pilgrim is committed to achieving health care equity for our members and the communities we serve. Assuring the cultural competency of our provider network is of critical importance in delivering on that commitment. The Provider Group will submit a self-assessment of cultural competency to ensure racial/ethnic sensitivity, language access and attention to health literacy, as further described in Appendix 3. Target: Medical Director Responsibility Measure: The target is met when the Medical Director(s) attend 2 scheduled Medical Directors meetings as scheduled. ISP: The target is met when the Provider Group submits the initial business plan, mid-year update and final report, more fully described in Appendix 2.

15 Recommendations for Improving Organizational Cultural Competency The following recommendations provide guidance for meeting the National CLAS Standards. The recommendations are numbered the same as the corresponding questions in the self-assessment. These recommendations are intended to assist organizations that responded Dis, Strongly Dis or Don t Know to the corresponding question. We hope this information will be useful in the development of quality improvement activities, action plans, and strategic designs. II. Governance, Leadership, and Workforce 1. It is leadership that establishes the culture of the organization through setting priorities that include the availability of fiscal and human resources for cultural competence. 2. Identify the patient/client populations in your service area and develop a plan to recruit staff at all levels who reflect those populations. Include recruitment of staff from diverse populations in your strategic plan. 3. Create or identify staff opportunities to attend training on serving diverse patient/client populations (i.e., brown bag lunches, all staff meetings, in-services, conferences, etc.). III. Communication and Language Assistance 4. Review your organization s process for ensuring that a patient/client is never billed for interpreter services. 5. Post a sign in the common areas of your organization offering interpreter services. The sign should provide this offer in all of the languages spoken by at least 1% of your patients. Encourage patient to use this service and inform them it is free of charge. 6. Create a policy that family members, friends or minors should not be utilized as interpreters. The policy should explain that utilization of interpreters who are trained in medical interpretation is critical for providing safe and quality care. 7. All staff who communicate directly with patients should receive cultural competency training, including being made aware of the most common cultural beliefs and traditions of the patients seen in the practice. It should not be assumed that all patients from a particular culture share these beliefs but patients should be asked about them as part of shared decision-making about their treatment options. 8. If the target population for your patient outreach and education materials includes a significant number of racially and ethnically diverse patients, assure that these materials respect the cultural beliefs and practices of those patients while promoting high quality care. These materials should be available in the most common languages spoken by patients seen in the practice. 9. Health literacy awareness training is recommended for all staff who interact with patients. Jargon and acronyms should be avoided and a list of recommended alternatives* for commonly misunderstood words should be made available to staff. 10. Conduct periodic reviews of all patient/client materials used at your organization for reading level and compliance with recommendations for clear communication. Use of a checklist* for assessing written materials for health literacy and cultural appropriateness can be very helpful. Quality Advance Overview 2016 CT FINAL Page 15 of 16
16 IV. Engagement, Continuous Improvement, and Accountability 11. Identify and incorporate some of the recommended strategies from this self-assessment into your strategic plan. Conduct periodic assessments related to cultural and linguistic services provided by your organization and share results with your staff. 12. Utilize results from this assessment to serve as a measurement tool to determine improvements over time regarding delivery of culturally appropriate care. 13. Having an identified organizational champion for the provision of culturally and linguistically appropriate services can help to assure that this perspective is considered whenever new policies or programs are adopted. The champion should also monitor the organization s ongoing compliance with CLAS standards and recommend improvements as needed. 14. Race, ethnicity, preferred language, and disability status should be collected using an individual self report process. This information should be stored in the patient s medical record in order to facilitate the delivery of culturally appropriate care. 15. When creating patient registries, measuring quality of clinical care and conducting patient experience surveys, include race/ethnicity to enable stratification of results and identification of disparities. 16. When conducting patient experience surveys include items about the respondents race/ethnicity and educational attainment to enable identification of racial/ethnic disparities in communication and service, as well as areas where interventions to improve health literacy may be needed. 17. When disparity reduction strategies require a community-based approach, collaborate with other health care delivery organizations in the community and local community-based groups to identify and implement effective interventions. 18. Review your current complaint/grievance policy to determine if patients/clients with limited English proficiency or other cultural and communication needs would be able to access this process. 19. Create opportunities to inform your community of efforts in cultural and linguistic responsiveness - news articles, ads, health fairs, brochures, community meetings, public speaking engagements, etc. * Harvard Pilgrim has developed tools in the asterisked areas noted above.
