You soon will receive a letter from us outlining the HPSJ Improvement Project geared specifically towards improving asthma control for our members who are your patients. We are eager to increase our collaboration with you, in order to better assist your efforts to provide care for our members who have been identified as being at risk for asthma.
Please be on the lookout for the letter, including a packet that will contain the following:
- Cover sheet, titled “Collaborative Asthma Improvement Plan,” with further details on this project
- A confidential list of your patients (HPSJ members) who have been identified as being at medium-to-high risk for having an asthma exacerbation – to assist you in identifying asthmatic members who may benefit from such special intervention
- Examples of how pharmacists can be included in this collaborative care approach
Things to note regarding this improvement plan:
- This list of members will be refreshed monthly, and provided to your office by HPSJ
- Timely review by your office will enable faster, more impactful intervention
- Responses back to HPSJ will better ensure ongoing improvement plan effectiveness
- You will receive a packet ONLY IF your patients fall in the medium-to-high risk range
We look forward to being in touch with more details. As we move forward with this collaborative plan, if you have questions – or any recommendations on how it could be improved – we hope you will contact our HPSJ staff liaison, NhuAnh Le, PharmD, at (209) 469-8353.
As this collaborative effort improves member care, we believe it also will boost your HEDIS scores for asthma-related measures. In turn, this should increase your HEDIS reimbursement.
