A QUALITY FOUNDATION
CAN MANAGE CARE
|
"If we keep doing what we’re doing,
we’re going to keep getting what we’re getting!"
Steven Covey, First Things First
Have traditional efforts to shrink our nation’s healthcare system
been depleted? Linked to payers, Quality Foundation can provide credible reporting of
concurrent care coordination, education and credentialing within the structure of an
Integrated Health System.
Quality Foundation Goals
- To design and operate a physician directed entity which provides contractual services
for credentialing, quality & utilization management to provider service organizations;
- To comply with legal and regulatory requirements;
- To comply with accreditation standards of JCAHO, NCQA and CARF;
- To measure provider performance against locally established standards;
- To provide educational opportunities for providers where exceptions to standards are
identified;
- To provide timely information to providers to support their service to patients;
- To provide quarterly reports to (parent institution, payor & public);
- To provide annual report to (your community).
Peer Review Protection
 |
A distinctly separate
organization from the hospital medical staff: |
|
|
Avoids conflict of interest for measures of
Quality, Utilization and Cost; |
|
|
A subsidiary of a Health System not a
function of the Medical Staff; |
|
|
Separate Policies and Procedures. |
|
|
Material and Information reside
in Quality Foundation: |
|
|
Locally established Clinical Pathways; |
|
|
Minutes; |
|
|
Reports; |
|
|
Analysis. |
|
|
Distilled information only
to reside in Physician’s file: |
|
|
Recommendations on credentialing, education,
or disciplinary action are only recorded in a distilled form not to include reports or
analysis leading to recommendations. |
|
|
The Quality Foundation has no statutory
obligation to report information to anyone but its client and in a form acceptable to the
client. |
