Watch the 2020 IHA Stakeholders Meeting Presentations!
Thank you to everyone who attended our virtual 2020 IHA Stakeholders Meeting on 11/5! About 400 of you joined us in celebrating our accomplishments and hard work together as an industry. We had the opportunity to talk to you about performance measurement in the time of a pandemic, celebrate AMP award winners, and share Symphony Provider Directory insights and updates. If you registered, but couldn’t make it or missed a session, below are the links to the slide deck and presentations.
If you have any questions about the meeting, please get in touch at events@iha.org.
Congratulations to our 2020 AMP Award Winners!
Each year, IHA recognizes POs that are top performers in performance improvement, clinical quality, patient experience, and cost. This year’s award winners were announced during our annual Stakeholders Meeting. Check out the full list of recognized POs. Congratulations to all of this year’s honorees!
Reminder: Incentive Design Resources Available
You can find updated MY 2019 AMP Value Based Incentive resources on iha.org under “Incentives” within the AMP section! The following documents are available to provide an overview of the design and different components used to guide incentive eligibility and payments:
In addition, PO worksheets have been finalized and are available for download from the AMP Reporting Portal.
Please note: This is a modeling tool only, as health plans may make minor adjustments to the recommended design when making their incentive payments.
Measure Certification Update from NCQA
As you hopefully know, NCQA is bringing the complete measure specifications to the HEDIS community sooner by changing dates in the publication timeline. Our AMP program has also revised our publication timeline to align with HEDIS. NCQA’s Measure Certification program will adjust timelines to align with the release of publications so that organizations are certified during the applicable measurement year.
To provide full transparency, NCQA posted a timeline change table to their website that outlines key dates for MY 2020, MY 2021 and MY 2022 certification. This timeline applies to commercial vendors and organizations that choose Automated Source Code Review (ASCR).
If you have any questions, please submit them to my.ncqa.org > PCS > Measure Certification product/program type.
