Our Quality Improvement programs and information are developed, implemented, and evaluated to promote and preserve clinical excellence that fosters the safety and well-being of our members.

At EmblemHealth, we feel so strongly about quality improvement that we have developed several different quality incentive programs designed to meet providers where they are today, making it easier to meet program participation requirements. Also, our risk adjustment program offers incentives for primary care providers for correct coding and billing practices for their EmblemHealth members enrolled in New York State of Health (NYSOH) Marketplace, Medicare HMO, and Medicaid. See below for program qualifications and specifications that might fit your practice.

The Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) survey helps us gain a better understanding of our members’ experiences when using their health care benefits so we can drive continuous improvement. Your interaction with our members has a direct impact on their response to the CAHPS survey. Please access the documents to get further insight regarding CAHPS (including survey questions) and tips to ensure you provide the best care to your patients.

The Medicare Health Outcomes Survey (HOS) provides a standardized understanding of patient outcomes around physical and mental health, fall risk and prevention, physical activity, and urinary incontinence. Our providers have a direct impact on patients’ perception of their health and quality of life. The tip sheet linked below offers techniques that may help providers enhance their Medicare patients’ health care outcomes.

EmblemHealth’s primary concern is the quality of care our members receive in every setting, including skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). To aid members, families, and providers in the decision of choosing a SNF to meet their/their patient’s needs, EmblemHealth has compiled a list of our contracted SNFs with a Star Quality Rating of 3 and above.

We encourage you to provide EmblemHealth access to your patients’ medical records, supply supplemental data, and share nonstandard data to ensure we capture all needed information regarding your patients. You must provide EmblemHealth with access to medical records, at no charge, for quality reviews related to the Quality Incentive Program (QIP), as well as for Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDISR) and other regulatory initiatives.

Telehealth uses technology to deliver cost-effective, convenient, high-quality care to ensure patients receive the right care, at the right place, and the right time. But did you know that telehealth can be leveraged to address gaps in care, maximize incentives and obtain the data needed for commercial, Medicaid, and Medicare health plan risk adjustment programs and value-based contract performance?
