WEBINAR
Over the past few years, the importance of a great member experience solidified itself as a top priority for health plans, and yet fully cracking the code on how to improve CAHPS and HOS scores has been a challenge. As each plan experiments with how to reach, engage, and delight members, the industry as a whole is working towards establishing member experience improvement best practices.
To that end, Healthmine EVP of Consulting & Professional Services Melissa Smith sat down with fellow quality improvement experts in a recent panel at Strategic Solutions Network’s Medicare Star Ratings & Quality Assurance Summit to discuss the latest innovations that plans are utilizing to boost CAHPS and HOS scores. Moderated by Julianne Eckert, the Director of Quality Improvement at Clover Health, the panel featured observations from:
- Cindy Aguglia, Medicare Stars & Quality Manager at The Health Plan
- Enam Noor, Founder and CEO of Insightin Health
- Anthony Davis, Managing Director of Quality and Accreditation Services at Health Management Associates
Each panelist shared their unique perspectives and actionable strategies on how health plans can re-evaluate and reset the ways they track, analyze, and respond to member feedback to succeed in an environment of 4x weighted CAHPS measures.
