Action Items

Task 2.1 through 2.3

Review existing guidelines and identifying guidelines that could be reasonably turned into measures. We do not anticipate validated and deployed measures in a few months. Framed for quality improvement rather than value based care etc.

There are 2 established postpartum measures in circulation – HEDIS and Postpartum depression screening (2 versions CDC and NCQA).

Run a measure for a year or two to make sure it runs well and then include in incentives.

Notification of clinic that birth has occurred. Electronic transfer is ideal but not required. Maybe a phone call?

Immediate issues/probably need to be seen earlier within 2 weeks: substance abuse, hypertension, cardiovascular disease.

Create a high risk definition – these patients need follow up prior to the routine 6-week postpartum visit.

CMQCC provides human readable measures. Ray will work on terminology stuff.

Task 2.4Task 2.4 –

Have we identified sites for Task 2.4? – OCHIN has sites in California. RCHC has sites in California.

Satisfied by existing knowledge of the work in California. Opportunity to review measures with Redwood and OCHIN.
