The Alliance analytics team conducts a Preliminary GPRO Audit twice a year. As was the case when we were in the Medicare Shared Savings Program, Alliance quality reporting replaces the obligation of our practices to report on their own. In addition, in NextGen, our quality performance will be a factor in the amount of savings we take home. These are the figures so far in terms of our compliance with four of the most challenging measures:

• Diabetic Eye Exams 23%,
• BMI Screening and Follow-up 44%,
• Depression Screening 53%
• Medication Reconciliation Post Discharge 7%.

Clearly, we have some work to do. Over the next few weeks, members of our analytics team will meet with our providers and discuss ways to improve our network’s scores. We will provide a “Quality Tips” worksheet which details the key advice you will need to be ready for the visit.
