Portal migration: updates and support

IHA is migrating the technology solution we use to deliver your AMP results, allowing access to both PO- and member-level reporting through Onpoint Health Data’s Performance Reporting Portal (PRP). Because of this transition, our Preliminary Results Release is scheduled for the end of August and will cover all AMP data pathways: TransUnion clinical quality, PBGH patient experience, and Onpoint-generated results.

We invite all provider organizations and their data partners to join us for a webinar on Wednesday, June 29 at 11am PT. During this webinar, we will answer questions about the updated MY 2021 release schedule, share what to expect for our combined Questions and Appeals period in September, go over PRP account set up, and more. A calendar invite is forthcoming, but you can register early below!

Health plans, we look forward to going over the same topics with you during our regularly scheduled Quarterly HP Webinar on June 30, 2022.

Thank you for your continued feedback and patience as we work to enhance your AMP experience. Please reply to this newsletter if you have any questions.

OPA Medicare Report Card, 2021-22 Edition

The California Office of the Patient Advocate (OPA) has released the latest edition of its Medical Group – Medicare Report Card and new Total Cost of Care star ratings for medical groups that serve commercial HMO members. This spring release is the first since OPA joined the new Center for Data Insights and Innovation at the California Health and Human Services Agency. The new edition presents MY 2020 AMP data to a consumer audience.

Recent publications from IHA

In addition to providing you with benchmarking, incentive design, and other use-cases, our performance measurement programs enable powerful analyses to support our stakeholders and industry at-large. Here's a round-up of our recent publications:

• Primary care spending in California’s commercial market
• Better quality, lower costs when providers and health plans share financial risk
• Advancing person-centered care measurement in the delivery system

Account management for the Onpoint PRP

Because the PRP allows member-level detail information, IHA and Onpoint will require AMP users to set up multi-factor authentication for portal access.

If you are the primary user for your organization, please look out for an email with next steps for PRP account setup. Our goal is to make sure each organization has their PRP accounts ready in July for our Preliminary Results Release at the end of August.
