Point32Health has developed a new Star Measure tip sheet for the Medication Adherence measure.
The Medication Adherence measure assesses the percentage of patients 18 years of age or older who are prescribed a medication for diabetes, hypertension, or cholesterol and fill their prescription often enough to cover 80% of the prescribed course of treatment. Three measures are included:
- Medication adherence for diabetes medications,
- Medication adherence for hypertension (RAS antagonists), and
- Medication adherence for cholesterol (statins).
Point32Health’s Star Measure tip sheets outline key features of specific Medicare Star Rating program measures. These best practices and tips can identify opportunities to improve patient care and optimize Star Ratings.
For the full collection of Point32Health Star Measure and HEDIS tip sheets currently available, refer to the HEDIS and Star Rating tip sheets page on our provider website. And be sure to look to future issues of Insights and Updates for Providers for new information as we continue to develop additional tip sheets.
