HPHC Honor Roll for 2017

MACIPA was named to HPHC’s 2017 Honor Roll in recognition of excellence in clinical quality and performance. The Honor Roll highlights physician groups that have achieved exceptional results in disease prevention and the treatment of acute and chronic illness for both adult and pediatric patients.

MACIPA was selected to the Honor Roll based on clinical performance measured against national standards set by HEDIS (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set), a tool developed for the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) to assess clinical performance.

MACIPA was identified as an Honor Roll group based on performance on 15 measures:

Adolescent Well-Care Visits
Annual Monitoring for Patients on Persistent Medications
Antidepressant Medication Management (continuation)
Appropriate Testing for Children with Pharyngitis
Appropriate Treatment for Children with Upper Respiratory Infection

HPHC Grant

In 2016 and 2017, MACIPA was awarded a Population Management grant from Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. The grant is titled “Building Upon Early Success: Expanding a Pilot in Population Health Management to Target Additional Chronic Diseases.” With this project, MACIPA has been able to expand its integrated multidisciplinary team approach to manage patients with multiple chronic diseases (e.g. Diabetes). Cardiovascular Disease (uncontrolled hypertension) was added in 2016, and Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in 2017. This grant allowed for the expansion of the Systematic Case Review Team to add a cardiologist and a pulmonologist in addition to the permanent members, which include psychiatry, endocrinology, social work and pharmacy.

Wellness Grant

MACIPA entered into a seed-funding program working in collaboration with the MA Department of Public Health, Health Resources in Action and Advancing Wellness. This is funded by the Prevention and Wellness Trust offered to Massachusetts businesses that have a desire to implement a Worksite Wellness Program. MACIPA’s “Get UP & Move” Wellness Campaign, which began in April of 2017 introduced the following interventions to promote increased physical activity throughout our work day:

Sit for 60, Move for 3 Policy
Use of On-Site Gym / Lunch time Yoga
Wellness Professional / Personal Trainer

Compass Grant

In 2012, MACIPA was named one of eight healthcare organizations to participate in COMPASS through a grant from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This was awarded to manage patients with depression and diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease, with an option to address risky substance use. The three-year effort helped solidify the collaborative care management model as a solution for managing both mental and physical health problems, improve patient outcomes, and improve the patient’s experience and affordability of care.
