Quality Improvement
WVP QUALITY IMPROVEMENT TEAM
The WVP Quality Improvement Team (QIT) can offer Primary Care clinics, as well as Specialty clinics, a wide variety of collaborative services that help to increase value-based quality care provided to patients. WVP QIT works with clinics on innovative processes for improved efficiency while maintaining integrity and regulatory compliance. Our QIT department assists practices with Patient-Centered Primary Care Home (PCPCH) application preparation, including education and understanding of measures, site visit support, as well as provide feedback on ways to increase their tier status.
EDUCATION
Education is offered in various areas, such as payer quality metrics including Star measures, Chronic Conditions and Annual Wellness Visits, as well as helping clinics close quality care gaps. Closing quality care gaps requires uploading chart notes to payer portals, and coordination of data extracts to payers, thus reducing clinic staff time. WVP QIT provides experience and support to practices that attest to Quality Payment Programs such as Medicaid/Medicare Merit-based Incentive Payment Program System (MIPS), including Promoting Interoperability measures.
WVP QIT
WVP QIT learns the intricacies of each program/measure to provide a thorough explanation of the measure details and goals. The QIT department takes time to understand the needs of each clinic. QIT connects practices with various resources, such as the NextGen team for diverse EHR/Practice Management support and the Clinical Support Providers for more integrative services. QIT provides resources and tools to assist clinics in their many quality needs (e.g., posters, handouts, forms, etc.). WVP QIT also helps with education on best practices to maintain CMS documentation guidelines and compliance. WVP QIT strives to unite provider practices with each other for a more cohesive clinical community and improved overall patient health.
