Our QCDR Process

CUHSM.ORG is committed to helping our nation achieve better and affordable care, and improving the overall health of Americans. 
 

It is thought that between a third and a half of all medicines prescribed for long term conditions are not taken as recommended. If the prescription is appropriate, then this may represent a loss to patients, the healthcare system and society. The costs are both personal and economic. Adherence presumes an agreement between prescriber and patient about the prescriber's recommendations.

Adherence to medicines is defined as the extent to which the patient's action matches the agreed recommendations. Non-adherence may limit the benefits of medicines, resulting in lack of improvement, or deterioration, in health. The economic costs are not limited to wasted medicines but also include the knock˗on costs arising from increased demands for healthcare if health deteriorates.
 

Non-adherence should not be seen as the patient's problem. It represents a fundamental limitation in the delivery of healthcare, often because of a failure to fully agree the prescription in the first place or to identify and provide the support that patients need later on.  Patient adherence has grown to epidemic proportions.

Choosing to include our patient adherence metrics coupled with our integrated CMS submission process saves your organization time, effort and resources.

Specifically, CUHSM.ORG analyzes the implementation issues and administers solutions for the Healthcare Delivery problem of Patient Adherence:
 

Missed appointments, non-adherence to regimens, and lack of engagement in preventive care all deter positive outcomes. 
Using suitable measures, patient adherence can be quantified in order to initiate followup targeted communications and adjust appropriate risk factors that correlate with patient interactions.

Patient Experience Followup includes a patient evaluation of all events that happen to patients from the time they make an appointment to when an appointment is over and followup services are completed.

National research shows that patients having positive experiences with the entire staff of their health care provider are more likely to adhere to regimens, schedule followup visits, seek preventive care, be less litigious, and be more active and engaged in managing their health.

We leverage current technologies with staged operations to gently remind patients of their regimen.  Feedback is given to the EP in regards to the extent and frequency of patient communications.

  Patient followup communications

To help a busy practice with followup communications, we integrate the use of automation and administrative staff to remind patients of the necessary regimens and followup appointments.
