Clinical Process Improvement
Masspro will work with a select group of home health agencies to enhance their clinical processes. This work will include the use of the Outcome-Based Quality Improvement framework to improve results for the Acute Care Hospitalization (ACH) measure, plus one additional publicly reported measure (excluding “Any Emergent Care”).
Agencies will set specific targets annually for their ACH rates and their additional selected outcome measure, and submit them to Masspro for tracking.
Participating agencies will also complete an immunization survey to assess whether they incorporate screening for flu and pneumococcal vaccination into their comprehensive assessments, if they provide the vaccines, and whether they follow-up with patients who receive vaccine from another source.
Masspro will utilize its clinical, technical, and process improvement expertise to help home health agencies achieve maximum results.
