Quality Ranking for Primary Care Physician Offices
This year we are recognizing practices that have demonstrated excellence by achieving the highest Practice Quality Assessment Score (PQAS) rank in 2009 based on 2008 data. This ranking is given to the top 10 percent based upon membership of eligible primary care physician (PCP) offices.
PQAS is a comprehensive ranking system of quality measures and member satisfaction for primary care offices with 75 or more HMO members.
We want to congratulate the practices listed below for achieving excellence in aggregate in the following areas of preventive care:
childhood immunization;
cancer prevention in the areas of cervical cancer screening, colon and rectal cancer screening, and breast cancer screening;
diabetes care (HbA1c testing, LDL testing, eye exam rates, and nephropathy screening);
heart care (LDL testing after a heart attack);
asthma care (use of anti-inflammatory medicines for people with chronic persistent asthma);
well-child visits;
member satisfaction regarding multiple aspects of office practice.
Congratulations to the following PCP offices for demonstrating excellence by achieving the highest PQAS rank in 2009 based on 2008 data.
