WELLESLEY, Mass., April 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- A total of 63
physician groups in the Harvard Pilgrim Network have been named to
Harvard Pilgrim Health Care's 19th 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 14 measures such as appropriate treatment
for children with upper respiratory infection, comprehensive
diabetes care and breast cancer screenings. A total of 16 of the 63
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 honored to partner with these exceptional physician
groups and we congratulate each of them on their outstanding
performance on national quality benchmarks," said Michael Sherman, MD, senior vice president at
the combined organization of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Tufts
Health Plan. "We recognize these physicians for their
outstanding dedication to patient safety and for the exceptional
care they provide our members."
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.
