Core Measure Set Adoption Health Plan Adoption Progress Adoption Goals Alameda Alliance for Health Currently their program includes the core measures but a few have different specifications. For 2017 planning on including all the core measures for full adoption. Full Adoption Anthem Blue Cross Most measures already included, except cardiovascular; on track for 2017 adoption. Full Adoption California Health & Wellness Currently reporting all 10 core measures and planning to continue. Full Adoption CalOptima Holding current measures steady for 2017; 5 out of 10 core measures included in P4P measure set. Partial Adoption Care1st Re-establishing P4P program in 2017; pay for reporting on all EAS measures Full Adoption CenCal Central California Alliance Health Net Health Plan of San Joaquin Team is currently working to incorporate the core measure set into the 2017 PCP Incentive Program; desire to adopt all measures but working on feasibility now. Recommendation to board in April to adopt all measures for 2017, along with a few others; no major issues. Some concern with HbA1c control (lab data issue) but hopefully will have a plan to collect those values in place by 2017. Only including two measures; this year added incentive dollars for maternity, prenatal and postpartum. Setting up energy around collective action plan with the state. Current program includes 6 of 10 core measures; measures not included are cardiovascular measures, HbA1C control and childhood immunizations. Will make decision about 2017 measures later in 2016 based on current year s performance. Full Adoption Full Adoption Partial Adoption Undetermined Health Plan of San Mateo Inland Empire Health Plan Kern Family Health Care Continuing with measures we have, tweaking to align with HEDIS specifications; don t have cardiovascular or respiratory measure. Looking at revising program and adding access measures for adult and pediatric; not quite at commitment stage. Program currently includes 7 out of 10 core measures (cardiovascular measures and Diabetes eye exam not included); for MY 2017, planning on including all core measures for full adoption Currently includes 7 of 10 core measures in P4P program (cardiovascular measures and HbA1c control not included); no update about adding additional measures. Undetermined Full Adoption Undetermined LA Care Currently reporting all 10 core measures Full Adoption Partnership Health Plan Removed HbA1c Testing, use the HbA1c threshold of >9%=poor control, adopted Asthma Medication Management (but 50% compliance), and don t have prenatal care. Measuring only DTaP for Combo 3, which is a big data entry burden. Overall, 2016-2017 metrics almost finalized, no major changes planned in these categories. Will look at 2017-2018 changes in late 2016 (October-November) and will certainly take the core measure set into account in this process. Partial Adoption San Francisco Health Plan Have 8 of the 10 measures in our P4P program; planning on full adoption for MY 2017. Biggest hurdle is getting measures to work with current infrastructure, most of our folks are small primary care clinics with small denominators. For prenatal Full Adoption care, providers are already at 2016 the 90th Integrated percentile Healthcare so not much Association. incentive All to rights add reserved. at this point. 7
