Bright Spots in Healthcare: Equity & Timely Access as a Stars Strategy
As health equity initiatives play an increasingly important role in CMS programs, Medicare Advantage plans must commit to addressing social factors hindering access to care and driving members to take action to improve their health, such as scheduling a preventive care visit or completing a missed screening. Industry leaders from 4 & 5-Star plans discuss strategies to advance health equity and improve care access to achieve higher Star Ratings.
Topics include:
- Creating a true health equity strategy
- Using a personalized approach to reaching the unreachable members
- Creating a trustworthy, comfortable approach to care access
- Navigation and scheduling
- Partnering with CBOs
Panelists:
Elizabeth Benz, Vice President of Quality and Clinical Integration, Network Health; Gene Huang, Executive Chairman, ReferWell; Brindha Sridhar, Vice President, Customer Experience Strategy, MetroPlusHealth; Alexandria Tusek, Director, HEDIS & Data Analytics, Priority Health
