Key Findings Medical groups in Massachusetts continue to do extremely well when compared to the National NCQA Results.    

MA statewide results are above the national average on 23 of 24 process measures and on all six outcomes measures. MA results are equal to or better than the national 90th percentile score on 13 of the 24 process measures and on one of six outcomes measures. The state as a whole falls below the national average on only one measure; Use of Appropriate Medications for People with Asthma Ages 12 to 50 (MA score: 89%; national average: 92%). Between the performance years 2009 and 2010, there was virtually no decline in the performance rates for Massachusetts. Three measures had a positive rate increase over the two years of 2 points and above, appropriate testing for children with Pharyngitis, Chlamydia screening ages 16-20, and follow-up of care of ADHD medications – initiation phase (Table 1).

As a state, MA has improved over time on all process measures that can be trended for 7 years (Table 2). 



The largest improvements have come in women’s health care with the 2 chlamydia screening measures (15 and 19 percentage point increases) and well-child visits for infants, which has increased 7 percentage points between PY 04 and this year. Smaller improvements were seen in anti-depression medication management (3 points for the acute phase and 5 points for the continuation phase), well care visits for adolescents (3 points), diabetes care (testing HbA1c: 2 points), and well-child visits for 3-6 year olds (2 points).

All outcome measures also trended positively over the 5 years they have been calculated (Table 3).  The largest improvements over five years were in LDL-C control for patients with cardiovascular conditions (10 point improvement from 61% to 71%), LDL-C control for comprehensive diabetes care (9 point improvement from 47% to 56%), and blood pressure control for comprehensive diabetes care (9 point improvement from 66% to 75%).  There was a 4 point improvement in both controlling high blood pressure (general population) and HbA1c poor control for comprehensive diabetes care. Most measures show wide variation in performance among medical groups in MA, suggesting there is room for improvement among the groups even as the state as a whole is doing quite well (Table 7). o Of the 24 process measures reported across medical groups half showed variations of 40 percentage points or higher between the highest and lowest performing medical groups. The measures with the highest variation were: o Chlamydia Screening in women ages 16-20 (70 percentage point variation) o Annual Monitoring for Patients on Persistent Medication Total Rate (59 percentage points) o Chlamydia Screening in Women ages 21 to 24 (54 percentage points) o Use of Spirometry Testing in the Assessment and Diagnosis of COPD (53 percentage points) i

o Well Care Visits for Adolescents ages 12-21 (52 percentage points) o Annual Monitoring for Patients on Persistent Medications Diuretics (51 percentage points) 

Only 2 process measures showed variations of 20 percentage points or lower. These are the same measures as last year, with approximately the same variation in medical group scores. o Use of Appropriate Medications for People with Asthma - Ages 5 to 11 (10 percentage points) o Comprehensive Diabetes Care - HbA1c Testing (20 percentage points)



For 9 of the 24 processes measures, the medical group high score was 100%, two more measures than achieved this distinction in 2009. The measures were: o o o o o o o

Appropriate Testing for Children with Pharyngitis Appropriate Treatment for Children with Upper Respiratory Infection (URI) Use of Appropriate Medications for People with Asthma: Children Ages 5 to 11 Use of Appropriate Medications for People with Asthma: People Ages 12 to 50 Comprehensive Diabetes Care - Medical Attention for Nephropathy Comprehensive Diabetes Care - HbA1c Testing Cholesterol Management for Patients with Cardiovascular Conditions--LDL-C Screening

The two new measures to reach this distinction were: o Comprehensive Diabetes Care- LDL-C Screening o Well-Child Visits first 15 Months of Life

Variation among Regions There is very little variation in scores across the six regions within Massachusetts and all regions do well when compared to National NCQA Benchmarks (Table 9). o Of the 24 process measures that are publicly reportable at the medical group level, 13 showed across region variation of equal or fewer than 5 percentage points. o All six regions performed at or above the NCQA National 90th Percentile for 5 process measures and at or above the National Average for a total of 16 measures. There were 3 measures publicly reportable at the medical group level with a regional variation of 10 percentage points or greater: o Chlamydia Screening in Women ages 16 to 20 varied by 13 percentage points with Metro Boston at 66% to Metro West at 53%. o Colorectal Cancer Screening was the highest in Metro Boston at 82%, and lowest in Western MA at 72%, a difference of 10 percentage points. o Use of Spirometry Testing in the Assessment and Diagnosis of COPD ranged from 51% in Western MA to 38% in Central MA, a difference of 13 points. ii

There was almost no regional variation for six measures: o There was only a 2 point difference in the high and low regional scores for Breast Cancer Screening, and both asthma measures: Use of Appropriate Medications for People with Asthma: Children Ages 5 to 11, and Use of Appropriate Medications for People with Asthma: Ages 12 to 50. o There was only a 3 point difference in the high and low regional scores for Appropriate Treatment for Children with Upper Respiratory Infection, Comprehensive Diabetes Care – HbA1c Testing, and Well Child Visit in the First 15 Months of Life.

Variation Among Practice Sites The variation among practices for measures where at least 50% of practice sites met the thresholds of 3+ physicians and 30 or more patients was analyzed (Table 10). The following was of note: 

The measure with the highest practice variation was Appropriate Testing for Children with Pharyngitis. 163 practices had a score for this measure, with a variation of 88 points between the lowest score of 12% and the highest at 100%.



The measure with the least amount of practice variation was Use of Appropriate Medications for People with Asthma – ages 5 to 11, with a variation of 8 points between the lowest score of 92% and highest score of 100%.

Variation within Regions Central MA showed the least variation among its medical groups with only 1 measure (Annual Monitoring for Patients on Persistent Medication-Total) varying by 40 percentage points or more (Table 11): 

Metro Boston and Northeastern each had 4 measures with a large variation in medical group scores. Southeastern had 3, and Western MA and MetroWest each had 2.

There were a few measures that showed high variation in medical group scores in the majority of regions:    

The measure that showed the highest variation within regions was Chlamydia Screening in Women Ages 16 to 20. This measure showed high variation in 3 of the 6 regions. Well care visits ages 12-21 had variation of over 30 percentage points in all 6 regions. Colorectal Cancer Screening also showed a high variation in medical group scores in all regions. The difference between the high and low scores ranged from 22% in MetroWest MA to 39% in Northeastern MA. Use of Appropriate Medications for People with Asthma: Children Ages 5 to 11 had low variation in all of the regions, ranging from 1 percentage point in Western MA to 8 percentage points in Central MA.

Conclusion Overall the Quality Insights CQ Analytic Report demonstrates that the quality of health care provided to Massachusetts residents continues to be outstanding across the entire Commonwealth. The key areas of focus for the state might be performance on measures where the following is true: 

The Massachusetts rate is lower than the national average: o Use of Appropriate Medications for People with Asthma: People Ages 12-50



Both the Massachusetts rate and the national rate are low: o Use of Spirometry Testing in the Assessment and Diagnosis of COPD o Follow-up of Care of Children Prescribed ADHD medication, both initiation and continuation phases o Antidepressant Medication Management –Effective Continuation Phase Treatment



There is high variation across medical groups, suggesting there is room for improvement among the groups even as the state as a whole is doing quite well: o Chlamydia Screening (ages 16-20 and ages 21-24) o Annual Monitoring of Patients on Persistent Medications – Total Rate o Use of Spirometry Testing in the Assessment and Diagnosis of COPD o Well Care Visits for Adolescents Ages 12 -21 o Annual Monitoring of Patients on Persistent Medications - Diuretics

Details on all of the findings described above can be found in the following report.

About MHQP Massachusetts Health Quality Partners (MHQP) is a not for profit broad-based coalition of providers, health plans, purchasers, consumers and government agencies working together to promote improvement in the quality of health care services in Massachusetts. Through its Quality Insights reports, MHQP provides stakeholders and the public with valid and reliable clinical quality and patient experience of care information. MHQP staff works closely with MHQP’s Physician Council, MHQP’s Health Plan Council, the Massachusetts Medical Society and others to design reports that take advantage of the best available data. We also collaborated with dedicated individuals from medical groups and physician networks in order to ensure that provider data is attributed to the practice sites and medical groups in which they practiced during the measurement year. Our reports can be viewed on our website, www.mhqp.org.

The Clinical Quality Report The Quality Insights: Clinical Quality in Primary Care Report (CQ Report) compares the performance of medical groups and practice sites on the delivery of preventive and chronic care services. The most recent CQ Report includes 2010 performance results and state and national benchmarks as well as trends from 2004 to 2010. In this report MHQP aggregates physician clinical process and outcomes data from five Massachusetts health plans— Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Fallon Community Health Plan, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Health New England, and Tufts Health Plan. The clinical performance measures included in this report are drawn from Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®), a set of performance measures developed and maintained by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). The HEDIS® data are collected largely through insurance claims for hospitalizations, medical office visits, and procedures. To ensure that HEDIS® stays current, NCQA annually convenes a broad-based group representing employers, consumers, health plans and others to decide on the content of HEDIS®.

The Quality Insights CQ Analytic Report This Quality Insights CQ Analytic Report which follows provides an analysis of aggregated HEDIS® process and outcome measures that may be publicly reported on the MHQP website. Process measures, which are reported at the medical group and state level, and outcomes measures, which are reported at the state level only, are compared to the statewide and national NCQA benchmarks. In addition, a subset of the process measures is trended over seven years to show statewide changes in clinical quality performance. The outcome measures are trended for five years. Finally this report includes analyses of the variation in scores across Massachusetts and within six geographic regions in the Commonwealth.
