[HealthyTribes] Publication of 2017 CCO incentive measure report

[Thirstrup Ashley]

Hello Tribal Tobacco Prevention Partners,



The CCO 2017 performance report has just been published this week: https://www.oregon.gov/oha/HPA/ANALYTICS-MTX/Documents/2017-CCO-Metrics-Report.pdf



This report lays out the progress of Oregon's coordinated care organizations (CCOs) on quality measures in 2017. Measuring quality and access to care are key to moving health system transformation forward, to ensure high-quality care for Oregon Health Plan members. Measuring quality and holding CCOs accountable to key metrics is a cornerstone of Oregon's health system transformation.

This is the fifth year of Oregon's pay-for-performance program. The pay-for-performance model rewards CCOs for the quality of care provided to Medicaid members. This model increasingly rewards CCOs for outcomes, rather than utilization of services, and is one of several key health system transformation mechanisms for achieving Oregon's vision for better health, better care, and lower costs. To earn their full incentive payment, CCOs have to meet benchmarks or improvement targets on at least 12 of the 16 measures and have at least 60 percent of their members enrolled in a patient-centered primary care home. All 16 CCOs met the tobacco incentive metric for 2017, however only 7 CCOs met the improved benchmark target.

The report indicates that through the coordinated care model, there have been continued improvements in a number of areas, such as reductions in emergency department visits, and increases in depression screening and enrollment in patient-centered primary care homes.

Thank you,
