Annual Healthcare Quality Results Highlight California Providers’ Dedication to Improvement
The Integrated Healthcare Association’s Align. Measure. Perform. program honors top-performing and most-improved provider organizations
OAKLAND, Calif., Nov. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Integrated Healthcare Association (IHA) today announced top-performing provider organizations in clinical quality, patient experience, and affordability, and those demonstrating the most significant year-to-year improvement within its statewide Align. Measure. Perform. (AMP) program.
AMP is one of the nation’s largest, most established value-based healthcare performance improvement measurement programs. Since 2003, AMP has given provider organizations a complete picture of their healthcare quality, cost, and resource use, enabling them to track progress toward improvement goals. The program collects data from 13 health plans and over 200 provider organizations to measure everyone by the same standards and create clear, reliable performance benchmarks. The annual awards provide tangible evidence of provider organizations’ hard work to achieve high-quality care and commitment to improving health outcomes.
The 2022 AMP Commercial HMO program results saw several noteworthy improvements in clinical quality compared to 2021. These improvements have meaningful impacts on patient care and the health of our communities:
41,000 more adults were screened for breast cancer.
22,000 more adults with hypertension (high blood pressure) had their blood pressure under control.
20,000 more adults with diabetes and hypertension had their blood pressure controlled.
“California’s integrated healthcare providers have shown unwavering commitment to serving our communities, providing high-caliber healthcare services, and enhancing systems to improve patient care,” says Anna Lee Amarnath, MD, MPH, general manager of AMP. “IHA is committed to partnering with industry leaders to support healthcare providers and their focus on the quality improvements that have the biggest impact on health outcomes.”
IHA presents awards for its AMP Commercial HMO program for top performance in clinical quality, patient experience, and cost of care while also recognizing those that have made the most significant gains in quality of care.
“It’s an honor to recognize these provider organizations for their dedication to improving the quality of care for patients. Their efforts are making a measurable difference in the lives of Californians, ensuring individuals across the state have access to high-value, patient-centered care,” says Mary Watanabe, Director of the California Department of Managed Health Care.
