Quality Improvement
Program Purpose
CareSource is committed to providing evidence-based care in a safe, member-centered, timely, efficient and equitable manner. The scope of our CareSource quality improvement (QI) program is comprehensive and includes clinical and non-clinical services.
CareSource monitors and evaluates the quality of care, encompassing the safety and service delivered to our members with an emphasis on accessibility to care, availability to care, availability of services and physical and behavioral health care delivered by network practitioners and providers. CareSource also monitors the quality and safety of member services through review of practitioner, provider, hospital, utilization management, care management and pharmacy program data.
Member satisfaction and health outcomes are monitored through quality improvement activities, routine health plan reporting, review of accessibility and availability standards, utilization trends and annual Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®). In addition, Marketplace members complete the annual Quality Health Plan (QHP) Enrollee Survey to capture member perspectives on health care quality. The QHP Enrollee Survey is a consumer experience survey that assesses the enrollee experience with plans offered through Marketplace. The survey includes a set of core questions that address key areas of care and service provided to members.
CareSource is NCQA accredited. NCQA accreditation status shows our commitment to service and clinical quality that meets or exceeds NCQA’s rigorous requirements for consumer protection and quality improvement.
