Managed Care
Medicare+Choice Organizations are required to implement Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement (QAPI) projects to improve health outcomes and enrollee satisfaction for beneficiaries enrolled in an M+C plan. Primaris staff can assist the M+CO by providing:
-
Clinical and biostatistical expertise
-
Assistance in the design and conduct of projects
-
Review/analysis of project findings and interventions
-
Advice on sampling, data collection and analysis
-
Review of plan materials, QI studies and intervention materials
In addition, M+COs are invited to participate in Primaris'
efforts to improve health outcomes in the settings of nursing
homes, home health agencies, hospitals and physician offices
through partnerships in local, state and regional collaborative
activities.
