Baltimore Health Analytics (BHA) is announcing the development of our Supplemental Data Source tool to assist health plans with raising HEDIS® rates. The tool utilizes medical records that health plans may have have in house. The BHA tool, known as Ocular, uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to allow scanning of medical records for keywords specific to HEDIS® measures. From there it is an efficient matching process to members with gaps, quick review and data validation and conversion in to a HEDIS® compliant Supplemental Data Source.
With the uncertainty of Covid-19 impacts on HEDIS® Medical Record Review season, making use of every opportunity to increase rates related to Star Ratings is smart strategy. For a demonstration of the Ocular tool, please contact Jeff Schoenborn at jeff@baltimorehealthanalytics.com or Kathy Lester at kathy@baltmorehealthanalytics.com.
