1up AnalyzeIn today’s Medicare Advantage (MA) landscape, cost accountability is the hot button issue taking center stage, with CMS constantly refining Star Ratings to offset the financial incentives of capitation. As Star Ratings grow more complex, they also open up significant opportunities for improvement. By harnessing the power of modern computing, interoperability, and FHIR APIs, health plans can unlock new ways to boost performance, optimize care, and ultimately drive better outcomes for both their business and their members.
In this webinar, we’ll cover:
- The Essentials of Star Ratings: Understand the evolving Star Rating system, what gets measured, and why these quality scores are absolutely critical to your plan’s long-term success.
- Why Large-Scale Data Analytics Matters: Ratings are the result of complex calculations and plan optimization of scores requires sophisticated allocation of resources to address scores over a mix of outreach, clinical care, and provider incentives.
- Why Interoperability Matters: Explore how API interoperability to communicate with providers and patients is the key enabler for meeting Star Rating goals, and why a solid data-sharing foundation is crucial for any MA plan looking to excel.
- How 1upHealth Can Help: Learn how 1upHealth’s platform and our CMS Access APIs can support your plan by integrating comprehensive patient data, streamlining communications, and optimizing performance across key Star Rating measures.
Join us to discover how the intersection of interoperability and Star Ratings can transform your MA plan, and how to stay ahead in this rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
