Informatics Center (Vol.2)
Online Reports from Informatics Center
Chronic Care Reports and Quality Measurement and Feedback (QMAF) Reports are now available in the Informatics Center Reports Site. QMAF Reports include claims-derived quality measures which will be updated quarterly, with network, county, and practice-level results. These reports include measures pertaining to diabetes, asthma, heart failure, and post-MI care; as well as adult cancer screening and pediatric preventive services. Chart review reports with Practice and Patient-level results are typically posted within 24 hours of completed reviews for each practice. These reports include measures pertaining to diabetes, asthma, hypertension, heart failure, and ischemic vascular disease care. A final set of 2009 chart review reports will be posted in December, displaying internal and external benchmarks for provider reference.
Chronic Care Reports are now posted in a web-based reporting format, and will be updated quarterly.
Reports include:
- Patient demographic, diagnosis, cost and utilization detail for Chronic Care enrollees, with identification of patients meeting screening criteria for additional care management services
- Hospitalization details for patients with frequent readmission
- Summary statistics by network and county
- Quarterly trends in cost, utilization, and readmission rates
- Enrollment by practice

Coming Soon to the Informatics Center
Staff at the Center will soon provide an enhanced user permissions structure, which will allow NAMs to authorize users with limited access to specific regions, counties, or practices within the network; an authorization category for external users, that will allow direct provider access to Pharmacy Home features and allow CA PCP access to their own practice reports; and secure file sharing within network, region, or practices.
HIT Collaborative Submits Plan
The Health Information Technology Collaborative, appointed by Governor Perdue and led by the Health and Wellness Trust Fund, has submitted an application for ARRA funds for the development of secure and meaningful statewide health information technology. Allen Dobson, MD, and Laura Gerald, MD, represent Community Care on the collaborative, which submitted their proposal in mid-October. The group has been working to build upon the model and infrastructure already in place in Community Care networks, Gerald said.
