Lori Herb, Senior Director, Clinical Outreach and Engagement

Recognizing the need to improve quality reporting, one health plan turned to Geneia. By leveraging Geneia’s advanced analytics, expert population health consultants and innovative clinical services to drive alignment and collaboration with provider partners and employer groups, the health plan successfully – and quickly -- improved key performance measures.

These measures were strategically chosen for their alignment with industry accreditation, CMS Star Ratings (STARS), Quality Rating System (QRS) and the Federal Employee Program (FEP).

In just 11 months:

  • Health plan value-based provider partners markedly outperformed their fee-for-service peers in 19 of 25 tracked measures, notably:
    • Breast cancer screenings
    • Cervical cancer screenings
    • Colorectal cancer screenings
    • Childhood immunization status
    • Comprehensive diabetes care
  • Health plan value-based provider partners significantly reduced high-cost utilization, such as:
    • Ambulatory care
    • Emergency department visits
