加州要求 Medi-Cal 计划负责确保会员获得高质量、公平的医疗服务​​ 

Sacramento ——加州Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) ) 今天公布了Medi-Cal Managed Care计划 (MCP) 和县行为Health Plan (BHP) 的质量评级。 DHCS 负责监督所有 MCP,以确保这些计划为成员提供最好的护理并提高透明度。​​ 

Monetary sanctions are being imposed on MCPs that did not meet or exceed the established minimum performance levels (MPL), meaning the plans failed to provide members with a level of care that reached the quality standards established by DHCS. Today’s actions are the result of the MCP contract, effective January 1, 2024, which significantly strengthened quality and health equity requirements for MCPs.​​ 

“加州致力于通过让计划合作伙伴对既定基准负责并推动可衡量的改进来提高医疗保健质量,” DHCS 主任 Michelle Baass说。“通过加强问责制、促进健康公平、加强协作以及与各计划合作,我们正在提升医疗服务水平,改善所有 Medi-Cal 会员的健康结果。通过这些共同努力,DHCS 旨在支持 Medi-Cal 管理式医疗计划、县级行为健康计划和医疗服务提供者,为所有 Medi-Cal 会员提供更好的健康结果。​​ 

为什么这很重要:质量评级是 DHCS 的“ 2025 年 50 周年宏伟目标”计划的一部分,该计划旨在改善儿童健康、生殖保健、癌症预防、孕产妇健康和行为健康整合。通过发布这些评级,DHCS 鼓励 MCP 和 BHP 提供更好的护理,尤其是在预防和初级保健服务以及行为健康服务等领域。​​ 

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR CALIFORNIANS: Based on the quality ratings, MCPs will take corrective actions, including providing more proactive care to members, such as supporting them in finding a primary care provider and scheduling well-child visits, helping with transportation needs to appointments and picking up prescriptions, assisting them with accessing programs like CalFresh, and screening for eligibility for Enhanced Care Management and Community Supports. MCPs will also ensure their network providers increase evening and weekend appointments and reduce wait times to improve access to care. Additionally, BHPs will focus on improving access to timely and culturally responsive behavioral health services. This includes reaching out to members to connect them with therapy and counseling and supporting them in managing serious mental health conditions and substance use disorders (SUD).​​ 

新的制裁措施:在与DHCS签订合同的24家医疗管理服务提供商中,有20家(83.3%)因未达到管理式医疗责任制(MCAS)质量指标中合同要求的最低医疗绩效指标(MPL)而受到制裁,比2022年衡量年度(MY)的情况还要严重。制裁金额从 25,000 美元到 819,000 美元不等,总计 3,069,000 美元,低于 2022 财年。​​ 

MCAS 制裁是根据受影响人数、MCP 绩效变化以及 MCP 健康场所指数得分等因素确定的。今年制裁的主要原因是儿童局部氟化物(TFL-CH)、儿童和青少年健康检查以及宫颈癌筛查,由于这些措施对大量人口产生影响,因此它们加起来约占制裁总数的 82%。超过 150 万名会员未获得 TFL-CH 服务,导致约 110 万美元的罚款。医疗护理专业人员 (MCP) 应积极参与改进工作,例如会员和社区参与,以及改善医疗、牙科和行为健康等服务体系之间的健康信息共享,以改善会员获得和使用所有所需健康服务的机会。​​ 

除了对 MCP 进行质量评级外,DHCS 还发布了第二年的 BHP 行为健康责任制 (BHAS) 质量评分。对于县级 BHP 而言,71% 的县在至少一半的心理健康指标上达到或超过了基准。各县在药物滥用指标方面的表现类似,80% 的县在至少一半的药物滥用指标上达到或超过了基准。虽然今年没有对必和必拓公司处以罚款,但执法行动将在未来几年开始。DHCS致力于创建一个透明的系统,拥有可靠的数据,并建立长期的问责机制,以提供更好的行为健康护理。​​

质量改进: DHCS 致力于支持 MCP 通过设定明确的目标、提供及时的数据以及与社区合作来提高预防性服务的可及性,从而改善其绩效。DHCS 分享最佳实践,提供技术援助,并创建区域合作组织,让 MCP 可以讨论挑战和潜在的解决方案。2024 年,DHCS 启动了两项新的全州合作计划,重点关注儿童预防服务和行为健康整合。​​ 

此外, DHCS还通过Regular行为健康区域合作会议,与 BHP 就质量改进进行交流,分享最佳实践和质量改进策略。 此外,DHCS 还与医疗保健改善研究所 (IHI) 合作开展了一项行为健康示范合作项目,旨在实现全人护理,无缝地满足 Medi-Cal 成员的行为、身体和健康相关的社会需求。阅读质量情况说明书,了解更多关于DHCS如何努力提高会员护理质量的信息。​​ 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: DHCS’ Comprehensive Quality Strategy focuses on improving health outcomes through the Bold Goals 50X2025 initiative. Since 2022, DHCS has been publicly releasing annual quality measure ratings for all MCPs and requiring quality improvement actions. Since 2023, DHCS has publicly released annual quality measure ratings for all BHPs and will begin requiring quality improvement actions. These efforts, as well as targeted audits of MCPs and BHPs and enhanced quality improvement and oversight, are aimed at improving health outcomes for millions of Californians. Assembly Bill 1642 (Chapter 465, Statutes of 2019) authorized DHCS to increase sanctions for MCPs that do not meet or exceed required MPLs. The MCP contracts, which became effective on January 1, 2024, promotes a more person-centered, equity-focused, and data-driven Medi-Cal program.​​ 

此外,在行为健康领域,根据《综合质量战略》,药物Medi-Cal组织交付系统机构间协议和心理Health Plan合同要求行为健康专业人员建立质量改进系统,并收集和提交加州医疗保健DHCS要求的绩效衡量数据。 DHCS 还于 2023 年 12 月发布了行为健康信息通知 24-004,以明确 DHCS 对 BHP 质量改进系统的要求。DHCS 将于 2025 年推出行为健康质量改进和健康公平框架,该框架将重点提高 BHAS 指标的绩效。​​
