doq-it university - Overview
Masspro has been selected by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to develop Care Management/Doctor’s Office Quality-Information Technology (DOQ-IT) University (CMDU).
DOQ-IT University is comprised of interactive, web-based learning modules designed to guide QIOs and physician practices through the phases of Health Information Technology (HIT) adoption --assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation/improvement and care management. Each module educates the user through a series of lessons with associated tools, which facilitate the adoption and application of technology (such as Electronic Health Records) and care management strategies. The content is designed for small to medium size physician practices, utilizing both health information technology and other resources, to maximally engage patients in their care.
Masspro, in collaboration with national and local care management experts, will utilize its expertise in HIT and quality improvement to develop quality care management and best practices modules for HIT adoption.
The care management modules will assist QIOs in working directly with their Identified Participant Groups (IPGs), as well as, provide a Web-based learning opportunity for all physicians. Modules will include (but will not be limited to) the following information:
-
Adopting and implementing HIT in the physician’s office setting.
-
Improving the physician/patient relationship/dialogue, including overall strategies for motivating patients to engage in their care.
-
Optimizing decision-making by providing choice individual tests/therapies based on specific guidelines, costs and therapeutic value.
-
Preventing errors through averting errors of omission.
-
Improving care processes, such as providing better care documentation.
-
Enhancing preventive care.
-
Improving the understanding of elderly drug interactions and use.
Care management modules will include disease specific tools and templates to engage patients in their own care. The modules will detail examples of patient and disease - specific interventions, as well as the most recent standards of care for treating/monitoring specific diseases.
