Community Partnership Engagement

Goals and Rational

24

Goal

Our Community Engagement Strategy focuses on building relationships with community agencies, stakeholders, civic organizations and interest groups to work side-by-side as long- term partners—building a coalition of support for BC/TCS programs, initiatives, policies, and services—with the end goal of improving the quality and efficiency of care for BlueCare members statewide and making the community a better place to live.

Rational

  • Allows us to enhance the shared BlueCare Community Care Model by tapping into

diverse resources, programs, services and activities to improve the quality of members lives.

  • Promotes a wide variety of community interactions that range from information sharing,

accessing and sharing resources, population assessments, to community consultation, community outreach events, referral services and in most instances, active participation in decision-making processes.

  • Empowers those from the community to learn about our initiatives and programs that

support our operational goals including NCQA, EPSDT, and HEDIS /CAHPS, allowing them to see multiple sides and increasing the likelihood that initiatives and/or solutions will be widely accepted.

  • Increases the level of trust between communities and our organization.

Provider Quality Engagement Strategy

30

Achieving successful patient outcomes is directly impacted by Provider Engagement. To accomplish this evolving focus on quality, Health Plans across the nation have evolved their quality improvement portfolio by partnering with primary care providers through Pay for Quality programs. Quality-based purchasing strategies aim to better coordinate a variety of quality improvement efforts toward a shared set of priorities that focus on core

  • populations. This is especially relevant for Medicaid MCOs.

Successful quality-based program implementation and thus effective provider engagement includes identification of performance indicators which are:

SLIDE 31

Provider Quality Engagement Strategy

31

The essential elements to provider engagement with the goal to improve quality and member health outcomes include the following: Increased adoption of gap closure activities

  • Provided the right resource tools and application, providers can use decision support to

close applicable member gaps in care. Said systems offer providers near-time access into patient profiles and most importantly into integral gaps in care reports. Such essential patient information helps providers to ascertain a much more holistic view of their patients’ health status and provide a greater impact on overall patient health outcomes.

Use of data-driven best practices

  • Knowing the right questions to ask and being able to tap into data-driven insights leads to

more targeted interventions for patients and more efficient use of a provider’s time. It also decreases unnecessary tests and treatments, increasing provider and health plan financial performance.

Improved use of decision-support tools and thus increased interoperability

  • A complete view of the patient’s prior care is essential to improving care and reducing

unnecessary treatment. Providers must be able to quickly view medical records, regardless

  • f where they are located and what electronic health record (EHR) they were created in.
