This presentation is back by popular demand! Melissa
Smith, Senior Vice President, Stars and Strategy, Gorman Health Group gives a command performance specially designed for the Alliance member audience. This presentation was given at the Leveraging Analytics to Power Outcomes and Improve Care Value Visist held in January, 2019.
It’s harder than ever to get all five. Melissa discusses how to beat the odds. There are radical changes in the way Star Ratings will be earned in coming years. Medicare Advantage plans need to prepare now for a seismic shift in Star quality measurement which will prioritize member satisfaction, encouraging health plans to understand and serve their customers in ways other service businesses already excel at. CMS has announced that the weight of patient access and experience Star Ratings measures will increase from 1.5x to 2x for the 2019 measurement year, while signaling its intention to further increase the weights of these measures in the future. These and other recent developments provide a consumer-centric lens through which MA plans should make decisions on their Star ratings strategies and investments for the foreseeable future.
Audience
Those involved in government programs, quality programs and stars, medical management, risk adjustment, and value-based care will want to tune in to this session.
