2005 HEDIS® and CAHPS® Quality and Performance Results
Molina Healthcare of Utah (MHU) has a Quality Improvement Plan that we work on every year. Part of that plan is to help members get preventative care. Each year we do a research project called HEDIS to see if our members are getting the preventative care they need. Specific HEDIS results Bullet
 
Molina’s goal is to be better than 75% of other Medicaid health plans in the nation.
 
We met our goals in these areas for our Medicaid product:
Well Child Care for Children 0-15 Months Old
Proper medicine for members with asthma
Breast cancer screening
Care for members while they are pregnant
Care for mothers after they deliver
How often members receive care while they are pregnant
Controlling high blood pressure
A1c testing for members with diabetes
 
We had improved in these areas, but did not reach our goal:
Childhood immunizations finished by age 2
Well Child Care for children 3-6 years old
Chlamydia screening
Adolescent immunizations finished by age 14
 
Our scores decreased in the areas of diabetic care and cervical cancer screening. This will be a major focus for Molina of Utah in the months to come.
 
Another part of the Quality Improvement Program is a member satisfaction survey that was sent to many Molina member’s homes. This survey is called CAHPS. The survey asks about the care members received from Molina Healthcare. Again, Molina’s goal is to be better than 75% of other Medicaid health plans in the nation. *

Getting Care Quickly
