What Will I Learn?
Quality Innovation Series topics are arranged in chapters, with 5–6 courses per chapter. All are connected to the central theme of health care quality; attendees can participate in the entire series or in specific chapters, or take individual courses à la carte. Sessions include presentations from NCQA leadership and staff, as well as from other thought leaders and accelerators in health care as we continue to redefine the Quality Playbook.
Chapter 1
Best Practices in Telehealth
When COVID-19 emerged as a threat to public health, telehealth became indispensable for maintaining a functioning health care system. This chapter features panel discussions from frontline care team members on their efforts to deliver high-quality care in a virtual environment.
Chapter 2
Behavioral Health
This chapter draws attention to the critical issue of our country’s strained (and drained) behavioral healthcare resources. Behavioral health experts from leading industries share insights and strategies for improving access to the mental health care system and demonstrate how to meet the need for whole-person care.
Chapter 3
Digital Quality
Digital quality measures (DQM) are digitalized versions of existing HEDIS measures—the same type of measure that health plans have used and reported on for three decades. DQMs are key to unlocking the potential of a reimagined quality enterprise. Experts share how this rich clinical data allows measurement of what matters.
Chapter 4
Health Equity
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for tools to better identify and address health disparities and under-performance throughout the health care system. This chapter examines efforts to ensure that the patient’s clinician, care team and health plan understand cultural and linguistic needs.
Chapter 5
Quality Accelerators in Health Care
This chapter features Accredited plans and Recognized practices that have implemented cutting-edge strategies to improve both quality and value. Experts share a variety of initiatives that improve the customer experience, integrate care, engage patients and their families and work to redesign the care delivery system.
Chapter 6
Measurement and Reporting
Subject matter experts will provide an overview of new HEDIS measures, updates to existing measures and measures that are being retired—including the rationale behind retiring measures and developing new ones—and will share feedback from public comment.
Chapter 7
Value-Based Care and
Payer-Provider Collaboration
The pandemic bolstered the case for accelerating the move to value-based payment models. Entities in value-based models that focus on population health and accountability were able to quickly adapt to the changing environment and escape the severe financial disruptions experienced by the loss of fee-for-service revenue.
