 About the Program
Designed for those who are already familiar with NCQA Health Plan accreditation standards, this program was developed and will be taught by NCQA Surveyors. NCQA depends on these health care experts as its representatives in reviewing an organization's compliance with the current standards.
Faculty will review changes to health plan standards that will be implemented in 2010, including future expectations around Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS); as well as explore challenging standards from a surveyor’s viewpoint. Interactive learning techniques will be used to help guide participants in understanding how to comply with standards within the context of their own organizations. Discussions will include what is expected when the use of multiple data sources are required in addition to how to document compliance in a clear and concise manner while using the Interactive Survey System (ISS).
Participants will receive a copy of the 2010 Health Plan Accreditation Standards and Guidelines OR the 2010 MBHO Accreditation Standards and Guidelines.
Seminar Hours: 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Registration is from 7:45 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.
Continental breakfast and lunch will be served.
Upon completion of this seminar, participants will be able to:
- Prepare for an NCQA accreditation survey under the 2010 health plan accreditation standards
- Use the Interactive Survey System (ISS) effectively to demonstrate how you’ve met the standards in a clear and concise manner
- Recognize areas in the file review that can be challenging
- Describe future NCQA initiatives that will impact health plans
October 16 Agenda
October 30 Agenda
You’re invited! The 2009 Recognizing Innovation in Multicultural Health Care Awards Event – October 15.
NCQA, supported by The California Endowment, will be hosting their
fourth annual Recognizing Innovation in Multicultural Health Care
awards event on October 15, 2009, to recognize health plans that have
implemented initiatives to improve culturally and linguistically
appropriate services and reduce health care disparities.
These awards highlight and recognize health plans for their exemplary
efforts and demonstrated effectiveness in promoting cultural competence
and addressing the health care needs of diverse members. Through these
awards, NCQA hopes to advance efforts to improve multicultural health
care and eliminate health care disparities. This event will provide a
forum for the recognition, dissemination and collaboration of efforts
to address CLAS and other disparities-related issues.
Awardees will showcase their award-winning initiatives at a poster
session and reception beginning at 4:30 p.m., and will be followed by
dinner and presentation of awards at 6 p.m. Dr. Garth Graham, Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Minority Health in the Office of Minority
Health at the Department of Health and Human Services, will provide the
