Get patients in for preventive services and screenings

To promote high-quality clinical care and overall patient well-being — and to support HEDIS efforts and maximize success on HEDIS scores — CarePartners of Connecticut encourages our provider partners to get your patients scheduled this year for any preventive services or screenings. These visits help identify or manage new or existing conditions and address gaps in care. 

These include, among other services: eye exams for members with diabetes, cervical cancer screenings, or measures to manage or control conditions like hypertension. 

CarePartners of Connecticut routinely provides practices with member-level gap in care quality reports. Please take advantage of this valuable resource! Remember to review these reports on at least a monthly basis for information on patients who are not compliant for certain quality measures or who may be overdue for certain health care services, laboratory tests, or screenings. Gap in care reports are shared via providers' secure Electronic Data Download (EDD) account/mailbox for those provider groups who have one established, or sent via secure mail. If you need access to provider quality reports or have questions, please reach out to: Star_Team@point32health.org. 

And as a reminder, 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.
