Why is health quality measured and reported?
It gives consumers and employers the basis to make informed decisions and pursue the best available care. It also gives feedback to health plans, medical groups, and doctors to improve quality issues.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1495542136491{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”]
How is it measured?
Surveys (on and off-site), audits, satisfaction surveys, clinical performance measurements, and more. We use these approaches in a range of accreditation, certification, recognition and performance measurement plans for different types of organizations, medical groups and even individual physicians.

How does South Florida Medical Network(SFMN) ensure compliance?
At SFMN we gather quality information and make it available to consumers, employers, health plans and doctors through these strategies:
[/vc_column_text]
- Ensures compliance with applicable regulations related to coding and documentation guidelines for Risk Adjustment (federal, state, and county laws).
- Thorough review of patients’ medical records, inclusive of patient medical history and physical exams, physician orders, progress notes, consultations reports, diagnostic reports, operative and pathology reports, and discharge summaries in order to verify whether:
- the diagnosis codes are supported by the documentation and comply with ICD –10– CM Guidelines for Coding and Reporting.
- the diagnosis codes for each chronic or major medical condition have been captured and submitted within the permitted timeframe.
- any diagnosis code is unsubstantiated by the record and should be eliminated. A review is applicable for clinical indicators and query providers to capture the severity of illnesses of a patient.
How do we ensure reimbursement?
SFMN ensures consistent physician and facility reimbursement by automatically evaluating provider claims in accordance with accepted industry coding standards thanks to a comprehensive nationally recognized code auditing system to secure consistent physician and facility reimbursement. We constantly enhance and update our code-editing technology to better enforce existing payment guidelines.

The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is used by 90% of health plans in the U.S.
It ensure health plans are offering quality preventive care and services to members and consists of a set of performance measures.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1495542407617{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”]
Is HEDIS mandatory?
HEDIS annual reporting is mandated by all regulatory agencies. As such, it is extremely important that providers and their staff members become familiar with HEDIS to understand what health plans are required to report.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1495542434978{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”]
How does it work?
To ensure the validity of HEDIS results, all data is rigorously audited by National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) certified auditors using NCQA’s process, which has expanded the size and scope of HEDIS to include measures for physicians, PPOs, and other organizations. Data is collected via HEDIS Data Submission including Healthcare Organization Questionnaire (HOQ) and Interactive Data Submission System (IDSS).
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1495542460113{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”]
Code acurracy determines proper payment
It is of the upmost importance that providers submit accurately coded claims/encounters data for each service provided. In order to guarantee that we collect properly coded administrative data, we have developed a tool to assist our providers correctly code services rendered. HEDIS is a registered trademark of the NCQA.
