“We are extremely grateful to SCAN for honoring us as one of their top-performing medical groups in its California network,” said Michelle Best, executive director of Quality Improvement at Providence St. Joseph Heritage Healthcare. “Together in partnership with SCAN, our providers, operations, pharmacy and quality teams, we have worked hard over this past year to close patient care gaps and provide excellent care to all of our patients, and we’re happy to have those efforts recognized.”
SCAN’s internal quality metrics focus on preventive screenings, treatment of chronic conditions, and appropriate documentation to ensure members get the care they need to remain healthy and independent. These metrics are similar to those used by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) in its Star Rating System, which weighs factors including clinical outcomes, coordination of care and consumer satisfaction when determining a star rating for each Medicare Advantage plan in the nation.
