Optimal Patient Care – Quality Outcomes - Clinical Integration – Population Health Management
The 2025 Quality Program continues and is supported by the WDH Population Health Department. The Quality Program is focused on monitoring No-Show appointments, Blood Pressure Control, and actions taken to assist patients with an elevated BMI. Select independent specialty practices have been supported to focus on alternate quality metrics for their unique populations. Examples of these unique metrics include PHQ-9 depression screening, diabetic eye examinations, timely melanoma treatment planning, asthma medication compliance, diabetic foot evaluation, and opiate prescriptions for dental pain complaints.
The PHO also participates in multiple payer programs that rely on high quality care. These include shared savings, shared risk, and incentive arrangements covering commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid populations.
