View Agenda

• Identify the core behavioral health measures in the current Star Ratings program and how they're weighted relative to clinical and experience measures

• Connect behavioral health performance to downstream member experience outcomes, including CAHPS and HOS survey results

• Prepare for the Depression Screening and Follow-up measure before MY2027 begins

• Identify where specification differences create gaps in data capture, reporting, and performance tracking

• Examine NCQA accreditation requirements for D-SNP plans and how their rating measures differ from CMS Stars

• Assess the operational and strategic implications for plans entering or expanding in D-SNP markets

• Set MY2027 targets that account for cut point compression, and put resources on the measures where a small rate change moves the star rating

• Critique the limitations of relying on static "projected cutpoint" models, given their track record of failing to predict actual results in recent years

• Anticipate the tradeoff between short-term performance gains and long-term improvement-measure exposure

• Weigh the pros and cons of value-based care arrangements and risk-bearing entities as levers for Stars performance improvement

• Adapt provider engagement strategies for non-Epic environments where standard data integration approaches don't apply

• Identify the specific operational barriers rural and paper-chart providers face, and design outreach that accounts for those constraints

• Assess where your organization stands in the transition away from hybrid measurement, and what that means for near-term operational planning

• Identify how point-of-care technologies close risk adjustment and quality gaps simultaneously during a single patient visit
• Evaluate the operational fit of integrated gap-closure technology across specific measures

• Specify what to request from IT and vendors so clinical data reaches your HEDIS results as hybrid measurement ends

• Recognize how these technical standards affect day-to-day operational requests and data-sharing requirements

• Identify which parts of your organization (IT, quality, network operations) need to be involved as dQM adoption expands

• Assign pharmacy and quality staff to one medication plan per member that addresses adherence, statin and polypharmacy measures together

• Evaluate operational approaches for moving from individual-measure management to whole-member medication strategy

• Apply lessons from health plan pharmacy leadership on translating measures into day-to-day operations

• Differentiate the strategic levers available for survey-based measures (CAHPS, HOS) versus clinical measures

• Match intervention types to the specific measure category they're intended to move

• Prioritize measure-specific investments based on weight and improvement potential
