Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Honors 65 Physician Groups in its 16th Annual Physician Group Honor Roll
Congratulations to Northeast PHO and the other sixty-four physician groups in Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire named to Harvard Pilgrim Health Care’s 16th annual Physician Group Honor Roll. The Harvard Pilgrim Honor Roll highlights physician groups that have achieved exceptional results in their approach to disease prevention and the treatment of acute and chronic illness for both adult and pediatric patients.
Harvard Pilgrim selected the Honor Roll physician groups 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 the clinical performance of doctors and other medical professionals. Harvard Pilgrim reviewed performance in three domains of clinical care affecting both adult and pediatric patients: acute, chronic and preventive care. Physician groups were identified as Honor Roll practices based on points earned for performance on 15 measures such as appropriate treatment for children with upper respiratory infection, comprehensive diabetes care and breast cancer screenings. Nineteen of the 65 practices on the Physician Group Honor Roll achieved “With Distinction” status, meaning they exceeded NCQA’s national 90th percentile in all domains of clinical care.
“We are very pleased to partner with these exceptional physician groups,” said Eric H. Schultz, President and CEO, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. “We are happy to recognize their standout performance on national quality benchmarks and for the exceptional care they provide our members.”
“Health care today is focused on positive outcomes and value,” said Michael Sherman, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. “Through their dedication to quality and patient safety, these physicians have admirably demonstrated the focus needed to help us achieve those goals.”
Honor roll practice providers are noted in Harvard Pilgrim’s printed and online provider directories, as well as on the organization’s web site, enabling members to evaluate and select physicians based on quality measures.
