Access Key Findings — Eligibles v. Beneficiaries Served
Quality: Performance Improvement Projects • What is a Performance Improvement Project (PIP)? • In general terms, a PIP is “a systematic process for improving the quality of care and service designed, conducted and reported in a methodologically sound manner.” • To elaborate, the Protocol defines a PIP as “a set of related activities designed to achieve measurable improvement in processes and outcomes of care. Improvements are achieved through interventions that target health care providers, practitioners, plans, and/or beneficiaries.” (Human Services Research Institute, 2004) • PIPs are generally more functional if the MHP receives support than creating it in isolation. • Examples: SCERP I, SCERP II, CalMEND • Challenges • Rapid cycle measurements have been problematic; CalMEND can be of assistance
Quality: Performance Improvement Projects • Other PIP categories include: • Business process improvement • Co-occurring disorders • Physical health care • Psychiatrist/medication appointment • Retention • Wellness, recovery and resilience • Other
