Welcome new member!

Dr. Helen Bellanca, Associate Medical Director at Health

Share of Oregon. Helen is joining us as a CCO representative. Her term

Health Plan Quality Metrics Committee

Met July 13th and heard a proposal from Ken House and Will Brake

to establish a workgroup, supported by the Children’s Institute, to create an overarching measure of kindergarten readiness. The Committee supported the proposal and asked for an update with vision and deliverables within the next 3-6 months.

The Committee then began to review candidate measures for two

domains and conducted a “first pass” vote on whether individual measures should remain in candidate pool moving forward. This work will continue at the August 10th meeting.

Metrics & Scoring will present its formal proposal in October.

Effective Contraceptive Use

TAG recommendation was to modify the specifications to include

permanent numerator credit for tubal ligation

The Committee supported changing the specifications to account

for tubal ligations, but wanted to see additional data before deciding on whether to:

(a) modify the lookback period to give permanent numerator credit for tubal ligations ever previously received or (b) exclude woman who previously had tubal ligation from the denominator (credit would be given in year tubal conducted; member would be excluded in subsequent measurement periods)

Committee asked OHA to test both approaches

Effective Contraceptive Use

OHA tested the two options (see ‘ECU tubal ligation options’ in meeting

materials and found):

– When looking within the same year, Method 1 (permanent numerator credits for tubals) increased the overall rate from the current specs by 7 points in 2015, and 6 in 2016; significantly larger increases than Method 2 (tubal as numerator credit in first year, then permanent exclusion), less than 1 point higher for both years. – With method 1, all CCOs see rates elevated, up to 9 points higher, or a 24% increase in numerator hits. – Some CCOs might see rates lowered under method 2, in particular, the higher performing CCOs such as PrimaryHealth and Umpqua which had around 4 points lower rates in 2016, compared to the current specs (“good denominator” being excluded phenomenon). – When comparing rate changes from 2015 to 2016, under the current specs the statewide CCO rate had increased by 3.4%, but both method 1 and 2 resulted in smaller improvements, at 3.2% and 2.8%, respectively.

Effective Contraceptive Use

Additional considerations

– How would these changes impact benchmarking? – The nationally endorsed measure is in line with the current Oregon ECU specifications and only grants numerator credit for tubals associated with a surveillance code within the measurement year.

After looking at these data, and reviewing the specifications for

the national measure, OHA does not recommend making this change to the specifications.

Committee decision?

Clarifications – 1

OHA recommended CAHPS measure (new):

– See CAHPS recommendations handout in packet – Add prevention or coordination questions (with preference for coordination questions, which are):

Q22 Personal doctor seemed informed and up-to-date about care

received from other doctors/providers

Q40 Child's personal doctor seemed informed and up-to-date about care

from other doctors or providers

Adult metric (NQF 0421)

– BMI screening and follow-up plan (adult)

Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older with a BMI documented during the

current encounter or during the previous twelve months AND with a BMI outside of normal parameters, a follow-up plan is documented during the encounter or during the previous twelve months of the current encounter

Child metric (NQF 0024)

– Weight assessment & counseling for nutrition and physical activity (children and adolescents) – Percentage of patients 3-17 years of age who had an outpatient visit with a Primary Care Physician (PCP) or Obstetrician/Gynecologist (OB/GYN) and who had evidence of the following during the measurement period. Three rates are reported.

Percentage of patients with height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) percentile

documentation

Percentage of patients with counseling for nutrition
Percentage of patients with counseling for physical activity

Clarifications - 3

Additional information on evidence-based obesity efforts provided by the

HERC (see materials) show greater alignment with the adult than the child measure.

In addition, beginning January 2018 the Prioritized List guideline note on

behavioral counseling (line 325) intentionally only calls out “intensive counseling” (> mthly face-to-face)

OHA therefore recommends that the Committee include the adult,

rather than the child measure, in the 2018 measure set as it is more in line with the evidence-based practices outlined by the HERC.

Ideally there could be a glide path in future years towards prevalence and/or

intensive counseling.

Select 2018 Challenge Pool

OHA Recommendations – Health Aspects of Kindergarten Readiness

OHA staff recommendation 1. Frame the 2018 challenge pool as focusing on measures that may have an impact on the health aspects of kindergarten readiness (Committee would need to select measures from final 2018 list). 2. Challenge pool payment would be contingent upon meeting all measures in the challenge pool. 3. If no CCO meets all challenge pool measures, revert to current methodology (payment per measure in challenge pool) or award CCOs achieving x-1 (e.g. 3 of 4) total measures. Rationale:

In the absence of a comprehensive measure of kindergarten readiness,

this approach clearly indicates the Committee’s commitment to cross- sector coordination for this often neglected population.

CCOs could still achieve payment on the individual measures outside

the challenge pool.
