Quality Management prepares quarterly reports showing the frequency and type of reportable events by population category (e.g., age, gender, etc.) and by service type. Clinical records may be requested, in some cases, for review by the Carelon Risk Management Analyst. Other avenues are explored as well, in order to complete a thorough investigation. The Medical Director has final authority to close reportable event cases.
- 疑わしい/立証された詐欺および虐待の報告
Fraud and Abuse Coordinator は四半期ごとに書面によるレポートを作成します。これには、イベントの種類ごとに、機密性を保護するためにサニタイズされたすべての詐欺および/または虐待の申し立て、および調査の結果が含まれます。
- 臨床記録の内容、保持および保管
Carelon has established policies and procedures for clinical records content, retention and storage, which encompass physical security, information systems security and staff training. This is monitored in the recredentialing process.
- 会員満足度の評価
In order to determine if behavioral health services are meeting the needs and expectations of consumers, family members, including parents of children and adolescents, and persons in recovery, the HealthChoices Program has established systems and procedures to routinely assess member and family satisfaction. These systems and procedures include the use of ongoing consumer/family satisfaction team (CFST) providing for face-to-face discussions with consumer and family members as a means for early identification and resolution of problems related to service access, delivery and outcome. Providers are expected to cooperate fully with all CFST activities. An annual statistically valid telephonic survey is also conducted by Carelon. Findings and resulting recommendations from the survey and CFST activities are incorporated into the HealthChoices Program ongoing quality management and improvement program.
- プロバイダー満足度の評価
An annual telephonic provider satisfaction survey is conducted by Carelon. Data is reviewed by the QM/UMC and areas for quality improvements are developed and monitored.
