Quality Improvement program
How we measure up
At Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Healthcare Solutions, your health is important to us — and our experienced team can help you stay focused on it. To help us serve you the best we can, we closely look at the access to medical care and programs we give you each year. We measure the quality and safety of the services we provide. The results tell us what works the best and what needs to be improved. The Quality Improvement program is the process of finding how we can improve your care.
What tells us how we’re doing?
Our scores in 2016 and 2017
To measure how we’re doing, we use tools from professional organizations, like:
- Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) — to measure quality of care and services
- Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) — a member satisfaction survey
National and state quality programs
National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)
Anthem maintains national accreditation through the NCQA. NCQA uses surveys and HEDIS scores to look at our:
- Policy and procedures.
- Quality programs.
- Customer satisfaction.
- Quality and access to care.
This year, we want to make sure that:
- All our members get quality health care and service.
- We understand all our members’ cultures and languages.
- We work to improve the health of our members.
- We help our members stay well and manage their health care needs.
2018 Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS)
The information from HEDIS helps us make sure you are getting the services you need. These services help keep you healthy or find health problems early so they can be treated sooner. We keep track of over 75 items. The data here reflects calendar year 2017 results. We compared it to the average Medicaid rate in the United States.
In the past year, we improved in the following areas:
2018 HEDIS results
for Ages 12m-24m
for Ages 25m-6y
2018 Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS)
To measure how we’re doing, we also use the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) survey. This survey tells us what members think about issues that are most important to them, like how easy it is to get care.
In the past year, we improved in the following areas:
