Quality
Martin’s Point Health Care (Martin’s Point) strives to provide health plans that are among the best in the nation.
We are committed to supporting the delivery of care and service that meets the highest standards for safety, effectiveness, and customer experience.
We continually collect and analyze data to monitor our performance and identify areas for improvement. In collaboration with our network providers, we support effective and affordable screening and treatment practices to prevent health issues and manage chronic conditions.
Martin’s Point, along with nearly every health plan in the US, uses the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®)1 to measure quality of care and the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®)2 to measure member experience. Standard measures of clinical quality and customer experience allow individuals to compare health plans and make informed choices when it comes to selecting a health plan provider for themselves and their family members.
Health Plan Initiatives:
- HEDIS Electronic Clinical Data Systems (ECDS) Reporting
- Health Equity/Social Determinants of Health
- Navigator Team
- Population Health Management.
While Martin’s Point works to ensure the health of individual members, we are also concerned with the health of our overall member population and the well-being of our community. We offer an array of services including population health management, nursing care management, behavioral health care management, and perform a broad range of interventions targeted at groups of individuals who have care “gaps,” such as missing screening interventions, following clinical guidelines issued by nationally recognized expert bodies.
Martin’s Point Health Care adopts guidelines for the prevention and treatment of illness and disease from nationally recognized government organizations and medical specialty societies. MPHC reviews and revises these guidelines annually or more frequently if needed. |
Martin’s Point uses the CAHPS® surveys to ask members about their experiences with the quality of care and customer service that we provide, i.e., health plans, prescription plans, and care providers.
The surveys focus on factors that members say are important to them, such as getting care easily and quickly, the quality of care provided by their primary care doctor or specialist, the coordination of their health care across the health care system, and overall service quality. When surveyed, our Martin’s Point health plan members continually exceed top benchmarks for member satisfaction.
