
Engages stakeholders
Method 1: Discussions with Case
Managers and Providers
Georgia:

data quality and measures group reviews
Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set
(HEDIS) measures and identifies trends within each
waiver program

Georgia Performance Improvement
Plan
Method 2: Provider-Specific Reports
and Follow Up
Maryland:
 Waiver reports with provider-specific data
are mailed to providers
 Corrective and preventive action plans are
required
Method 2: Provider-Specific Reports
and Follow Up
New York:

Plan-specific quality data are distributed to the respective
managed care plans

Plans will be soon be able to access crude quality indicator
(HCQI) reports directly from the state’s Uniform Assessment
System (UAS-NY)*

The UAS-NY will include features that allow:


Automatic production of the crude HCQI reports.
The NYS Office of Quality and Patient Safety to review and
“approve” the reports before they can be accessed by plans.
* The crude reports are not risk adjusted nor do they represent all of the information on quality data
that will be available to plans.
Method 3: Online Report



Makes plan- and provider-level
performance public
Encourages plans and providers to
improve performance to attract clients
Augments transparency and accessibility
Method 4: Collaborate with the
state EQRO
Illinois:
The Illinois Department of Healthcare & Family Services,
State Medicaid Agency, contracts with the Health Services
Advisory Group (HSAG) to serve as the External Quality
Review Organization (EQRO) for the state’s Managed Care
Organizations (MCOs).
 The EQRO performs external oversight, monitoring, and
evaluation of the quality assurance component of managed
care.
 The EQRO process includes review of MCO compliance with
State standards for access to care, structure and operations,
and quality measurement and improvement.
 Validation of Performance Measures & PIPs
 Monitoring of Corrective Action Plans

Method 4: Collaborate with the
state EQRO (continued)
Illinois:

HSAG findings are communicated to the MCO’s and
stakeholders via:

Monthly conference calls

Written report following the EQRO’s on-site record review for the
MCOs

Quarterly face to face meetings

EQR Technical Report: aggregated information on quality, timeliness,
and access to health care services that the MCOs furnish to Medicaid
recipients

Development of a Performance Tracking Tool (PTT) to be used by
each MCO to monitor and trend results for each performance
measure

Stakeholder meetings
