Summary
EmblemHealth has introduced a new HEDIS documentation newsletter section focusing on quality measure requirements for breast cancer screenings, osteoporosis management, and diabetic eye exams. The policy provides specific documentation tips and requirements for medical records to ensure HEDIS compliance and improve quality scores.
Action Required
Immediately: Providers must ensure all medical records include patient demographic page with first name, last name, and date of birth. For breast cancer screenings, document 'mammogram completed' with specific date or month/year for women 40-74. For osteoporosis management, document BMD tests or osteoporosis medications within 180 days of fractures for women 67-85. For diabetic eye exams, document date, results, and eye care provider credentials for patients 18-75 with diabetes. Consider allowing EMR access to save staff time on HEDIS reporting.
