The Quality of Care You Receive is Important to Us
Molina Healthcare wants you and your family to receive the best care. We have a Quality Improvement (QI) Program to ensure you get quality care. Each year Molina Healthcare sets goals to improve our services. One goal is to help you take better care of yourself and your family.
The QI Program:
- Evaluates providers to be sure you have access to a qualified health care team
- Investigates and takes action when you have an issue with the quality of care you have been provided
- Promotes safety in health care through education for you and our providers
- Publishes Preventive Health Guidelines to help you know what services you need and when
- Evaluates the quality of your healthcare through HEDIS® (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set). These scores tell us when you have received the type of care you need. The scores look at how often you receive services such as well visits, immunizations, eye tests, cholesterol tests, and prenatal and postpartum care if you are pregnant.
Evaluates members' satisfaction with care through the CAHPS Survey (Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) conducted by ODJFS. This tells us if you are happy with your health plan and your health care providers. It also tells us what we can make better for you.
