EXTERNAL QUALITY REVIEW PERFORMANCE Sample Clauses
The EXTERNAL QUALITY REVIEW PERFORMANCE clause establishes the requirement for an independent third party to assess the quality of work or services provided under the agreement. Typically, this involves periodic evaluations by an external auditor or reviewer who measures compliance with specified standards or benchmarks. By mandating objective oversight, the clause helps ensure that performance meets agreed-upon criteria and provides a mechanism for identifying and addressing deficiencies, thereby promoting accountability and maintaining high-quality outcomes.
EXTERNAL QUALITY REVIEW PERFORMANCE. In accordance with OAC rule 5101:3-26-07, each MCP must participate in clinical or non-clinical focused quality of care studies as part of the annual external quality review survey. If the EQRO cites a deficiency in clinical or non-clinical performance, the MCP will be required to complete a Corrective Action Plan (e.g., ODJFS technical assistance session), Quality Improvement Directives or Performance Improvement Projects depending on the severity of the deficiency. (An example of a deficiency is if an MCP fails to meet certain clinical or administrative standards as supported by national evidence-based guidelines or best practices.) Serious deficiencies may result in immediate termination or non-renewal of the provider agreement. These quality improvement measures recognize the importance of ongoing MCP performance improvement related to clinical care and service delivery. Appendix L Aged, Blind or Disabled (ABD) population Page 1 A high level of performance on the data quality measures established in this appendix is crucial in order for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) to determine the value of the Aged, Blind or Disabled (ABD) Medicaid Managed Health Care program and to evaluate Medicaid consumers’ access to and quality of services. Data collected from MCPs are used in key performance assessments such as the external quality review, clinical performance measures, utilization review, care coordination and case management, and in determining incentives. The data will also be used in conjunction with the cost reports in setting the premium payment rates. The following measures, as specified in this appendix, will be calculated per MCP and include all Ohio Medicaid members receiving services from the MCP (i.e., Covered Families and Children (CFC) and ABD membership, if applicable): Encounter Data Omissions, Incomplete Outpatient Hospital Data, Rejected Encounters, Acceptance Rate, Encounter Data Accuracy, and Generic Provider Number Usage. Data sets collected from MCPs with data quality standards include: encounter data; case management data; data used in the external quality review; members’ PCP data; and appeal and grievance data.
