Improving Quality Scores Missi Thomas Director, Information Technology Projects Rebecca Rohrbach, DNP Vice President Population Health 29
NOMS Healthcare 2001 Northern Ohio Medical Specialists was formed with 32 Providers 2007 - NOMS physicians formed an information technology (IT) committee to explore conversion from paper charts to an electronic health record (EHR ) platform. Later that same year - NOMS newly formed IT department began implementing an EHR system wide. 2012 NCQA Level 3 PCMH Recognition 2013 - Chronic Care Management Team, NOMS 360, was instituted 2013-1 of 35 Advanced ACO s across the nation 2017 - CPC+ designation Present 216 Providers and 726 Team Members 30
Local Challenge We found we needed to have the ability to effectively track our Quality Measure Data via Score Cards and Registries to improve on Quality Scores. In 2013, prior to our EHR upgrade we manually reported on eight Quality Measures. By the end of 2016, after the EHR upgrade, we effectively electronically reported on 23 Quality Measures.
