Requirements:
The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) was formed to ensure quality of patient care and measurement of patient outcomes with set standards.
Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a performance measurement tool used by millions of health insurance plans. There are 6 domains of care:
Effectiveness of Care.
Access/Availability of Care.
Experience of Care.
Utilization and Risk Adjusted Utilization.
Health Plan Descriptive Information.
Measures Collected Using Electronic Clinical Data Systems
You may access the 6 domains of care by clicking this link:

As an APN, productivity will be an important measurement for the practice to determine reimbursement and salary. Fee-for-service practices will require a set number of patients per day to maintain productivity. A capitated practice will require the APN to have a large panel of patients but also will focus on controlling costs. This can be accomplished through effective primary care that is accessible, convenient for the patients and has a method of measuring quality of care.
Write a formal paper in APA format with title page, introduction, the three required elements below, conclusion and reference page.
You are now employed as an NP in primary care. Choose one performance measure from one of the six domains of care, i.e. Adult BMI Assessment, Prenatal and Postpartum care, etc.
Develop three different patient interventions for that one performance measure and how you would specifically implement the intervention and measure the outcomes for that particular performance measure in clinical practice.
How would these primary care interventions result in improved patient outcomes and health care cost savings?
How can these interventions result in improved NP patient ratings?
In order to make things smoother, here are some helpful tips for this week’s assignment
There isn’t a min/max page length. You can use as many pages as needed to get your point across. Prior students are around 4-6 pages.
In HEDIS, choose one of the domains of care and then choose a performance measure. You need to have 3 interventions for the performance measure. For example if you choose adult screenings for the area, you need 3 interventions for that.
Be sure to discuss how the intervention will be implemented.
Be sure to address how the outcomes from the interventions will be measured.
Be sure to discuss how the interventions result in improved patient outcomes and healthcare cost savings.
Be sure to discuss how the interventions will improve patient ratings. Patient ratings are how patients feel about the care they received and the provider.
When measuring the outcomes or patient rating keep in mind accessibility, convenience and the method of measuring quality care.
There is a lot of detail on the paper in the course orientation from Dr Distler. Please review as your questions may be answered in the orientation.
Use the template posted in the announcements to set up your paper.
A reference is needed for each intervention.
