More than 1,000 clinicians in Greater Louisville received their 6th annual Consolidated Measurement report on the quality of care their patients received in the following clinical areas of focus: 1) diabetes, 2) breast cancer screening, 3) acute low back pain, 4) upper respiratory infection, 5) pharyngitis, and 6) bronchitis. This report allows physicians and nurse practitioners to compare their own data to the community average and benchmark.
To implement this initiative, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana Health Plan of Kentucky, and Passport Health Plan provided claims data derived from their 2011 HEDIS submissions;University ofKentucky consolidated these data. The following clinical areas are ONLY aggregated at the community level and not at the individual provider level: 1) cervical cancer screening, 2) chlamydia screening, 3) colon cancer screening, 5) depression, and 6) mental illness hospitalization follow-up.
