  1. January 24, 2014 2:00 – 4:00PM EST SNP ApprovalModel of Care Training Elements 3 - 4

  2. Objectives of SNP MOC Scoring Guidelines • Revise structure of the MOC to help plans better understand and meet guidelines • Model after S&P measures format • Approach familiar to the SNPs • SNPs have publicly requested such a change • Supports consistent scoring of MOCs

  3. MOC Scoring Guidelines • Used revised Appendix 1 of MA application Model of Care Matrix Upload Document—kept requirements intact, but revised formatting • Worked closely with CMS • Received input from stakeholders: Public Comment process • 222 comments • Health plans, trade associations, provider groups, others

  4. How will NCQA Score the MOC? • Scoring will be similar to previous years • MOC elements worth 0-4 points, based on # of factors met. • Total of 60 points (15 elements) • converted to percentage scores • E.g., 50 points = 83.33% (2-year approval)

  5. Scoring Criteria

  6. Crosswalk to New Elements Old Elements New Elements • MOC 1: SNP Population • MOC 2: Care Coordination Care Transitions Protocol NEW! • MOC 3: Provider Network • MOC 4: Quality Measurement

  7. Project Time Line • February 25 – MA/SNP & MMP Applications submitted to CMS via HPMS • March 11 – MMP application results to CMS • MA/SNP reviews continue • March 17 – CMS issues Deficiency Notices to MMPs • Begin “Cure Process” - Plans have 7-10 calendar days to submit additional information • March 18 MMP Cure 1 TA call for Plans scoring <70%

  8. Project Time Line • March 24 - Cure 1 MMP Apps due to CMS • April 28 – CMS issues Notice of Intent to Deny • April 30 – MA/SNPs & MMP TA call for Plans scoring <70% • May 8- MA/SNP Cure Apps & MMP Cure 2 Apps due • May 28 – CMS issues MA/SNP Denial Notices & MMP Status Notices • June 2- SNP bids due to CMS

  10. MOC 3: Provider Network • Element A: Specialized Expertise • Intent: demonstrate how the network is designed to address the needs of the SNP’s target population • Focus: • Plan-level information for the provider network

  11. MOC 3: Element A • Factor 1: The specialized expertise in the provider network address the needs of the target population • Factors 2 & 3: Oversees the licensure and certification of providers and documentation of provider information • Factor 4: Collaboration between the providers and ICT to provide necessary specialized services

  12. MOC 3: Provider Network • Element B: Use of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) and Care Transitions Protocols • Intent: describe how the SNP ensures that beneficiaries receive appropriate, evidence-based care and services • Focus: • Population level decision making, not individual clinician level • Identify challenges to using CPGs and protocols

  13. MOC 3: Element B • Factor 1: Monitoring how providers utilize CPG and nationally recognized protocols appropriately • Factors 2 & 3: Identify challenges where CPG and protocols need to be modified and the decisions to modify them • Factor 4: Oversees the use of care transition protocols to maintain continuity of care

  14. MOC 3: Provider Network • Element C: Provider Network Training • Intent: describe how the SNP provides training for its provider network • Focus: • How SNPs make training available to all network providers

  15. MOC 3: Element C • Factor 1: Initial and annual trainings for network and out-of-network providers seen by members on a routine basis • Factor 2: Offering MOC trainings to all network providers and documenting availability • Factors 3 & 4: Challenges associated with completion of MOC trainings and actions taken when training is not complete

  18. MOC 4: MOC Quality Measurement & Performance Improvement • Element A: Quality Performance Improvement Plan • Intent: describe how the SNP conducts quality improvement related to its overall MOC • Highlights: • Plan-level information focusing on goals that measure overall plan performance related to all aspects of the MOC

  19. MOC 4: Element A The MOC quality performance improvement plan must describethe following: • overall quality improvement plan as it relates to the MOC and how the organization provides appropriate services to SNP beneficiaries, based on their unique needs. • specific data sources used to continuously analyze, evaluation and report MOC quality performance. • leadership, management groups, other SNP personnel and other stakeholders involved with the internal quality performance process. • SNP-specific goals and health outcomes objectives are integrated into the overall plan (described in MOC 4, Element B)

  20. MOC 4: MOC Quality Measurement & Performance Improvement • Element B: Measureable Goals • Intent: identify and define the measureable goals/health outcomes for the target population, and how the SNP determines if goals are being met • Highlights • Plan-level measures and goals for the target population • Focus is on health/clinical goals (e.g., controlling diabetes, mental health screening)

  21. MOC 4: Element B The organization must identify and define measureable goals and health outcomes for the MOC and: • How they are utilized to improve the health care needs of SNP beneficiaries. • Describe how health outcome measures evaluate the overall SNP population health outcomes at the plan level. • Describe how the SNP establishes methods to assess and track the MOCs impact on SNP beneficiaries’ health outcomes. • Describe the processes and procedures the SNP will use to determine if health outcome goals are met. • Describe the steps the SNP will take if goals are not met in the expected time frame.

  22. MOC 4: MOC Quality Measurement & Performance Improvement • Element C: Measuring Patient Experience • Intent: describe how the SNP measures beneficiary satisfaction and responds to results • Focus • plans may use wide variety of patient experience/satisfaction surveys—CAHPS/HOS are acceptable, as are other alternatives • provide details of surveys and methodology for data collection

  23. MOC 4: Element C The organization’s MOC must address the process of measuring SNP member satisfaction by: • Describing the specific SNP survey used. • Explaining the rationale for the selection of a specific tool. • Describing how results of patient experience surveys are integrated into the overall MOC performance improvement plan. • Describing steps taken by the SNP to address issues identified in survey responses.

  24. MOC 4: MOC Quality Measurement & Performance Improvement • Element D: Ongoing Performance Improvement Evaluation of the MOC • Intent: describe how the SNP uses the results from its performance indicators/measures to support its ongoing quality improvement plan • Focus • Include lessons learned and challenges in obtaining timely data.

  25. MOC 4: Element D The organization’s MOC description must describe: • How the organization will use the results of the quality performance indicators and measures to support ongoing improvement of the MOC. • How the organization will use the results of the quality performance indicators and measures to continually assess and evaluate quality. • The organization’s ability for timely improvement of mechanisms for interpreting and responding to lessons learned through the MOC performance evaluation. • How the performance improvement evaluation of the MOC will be documented and shared with key stakeholders.

  26. MOC 4: MOC Quality Measurement & Performance Improvement • Element E: Dissemination of SNP Quality Performance • Intent: describe how the SNP communicates its quality improvement plan/performance to stakeholders • Focus • Detail who receives the information, how often they receive it, and what communication methods are used

  27. MOC 4: Element E The organization must address the process for communicating its quality improvement performance by: • Describing how performance results and other pertinent information are shared with multiple stakeholders. • Stating the scheduled frequency of communications with stakeholders. • Describing the methods for ad hoc communication with stakeholders. • Identifying the individuals responsible for communicating performance updates in a timely manner.

  28.
