PERFORMANCE OUTCOME MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (POMS) INITIAL CONSUMER REGISTRATION

The primary purpose of the POMS data collection is to serve as the basis for producing a set of performance measures/indicators for the BH-MCOs. The POMS serves the following functions:

1. Provides accountability for public funds expended through the Department’s capitation payments to the BH-MCO contractors.
2. Provides a fair and objective evaluation of the BH-MCOs that the Department can use for implementing outcome oriented incentives and sanctions.
3. Supports the Department and the BH-MCO contractors to implement a collaborative Continuous Quality Improvement process.
4. Provides outcome data to support the necessity and validity of the behavioral health carve-out.
