Get patients in for preventive services and screenings

To promote high quality clinical care, improve patient overall well-being, and strengthen HEDIS performance, CarePartners of Connecticut encourages our provider partners to schedule patients for annual preventive services and appropriate screenings. Proactively scheduling routine visits will help close gaps in care and maximize HEDIS outcomes.  

Preventive services may include services such as cervical cancer screenings, depression screenings, diabetic eye exams, routine lab work or managing and controlling conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. 

CarePartners of Connecticut routinely provides many practices with member-level gap in care quality reports. We recommend that providers take advantage of this valuable resource and suggest monthly monitoring of these reports to close gaps for patients who may be overdue for certain health care services, laboratory tests, or screenings.

Gap in care reports are shared primarily via secure email when a provider group contact is established, or via Electronic Data Download (EDD) mailbox (for groups with established access). If you need access to provider quality reports or have questions, please reach out to: Star_Team@point32health.org.

Our provider website hosts a collection of HEDIS and Star Measure tip sheets, which highlight best practices and tips designed to identify opportunities to improve patient care and aid your practice’s performance on these measures. Be sure to check back periodically, as we often develop new tip sheets to assist you in different aspects of care.
