It will require Medicaid certified nursing facilities (NFs) serving MLTSS participants to meet Quality Performance Standards as a means to raise the overall quality of care and provide a basis for future Value Based Purchasing of NF services. Under the program\, New Jersey will transition from its current any willing provider (AWP) policy\, which requires a managed care organization (MCO) to contract with any NF who would like a contract and complies with the MCO’s provider network participation\nrequirements\, to the AWQP program. The AWQP program establishes the ground work for a NF and an MCO to negotiate a payment rate based on quality and outcomes. This program was\ndeveloped in collaboration with the MLTSS Steering Committee’s Quality Workgroup. \nObjectives:\nThis webinar will focus on the following:\n• What is the AWQP initiative and why is it being done?\n• What are the seven Quality Performance Standards?\n• What does the AWQP designation mean for my nursing facility?\n• What is a Quality Performance Plan and why will a NF create one?\n• What is the appeal process for the AWQP designation and reasons for appeal?\n• What technical assistance opportunities will exist and what is the role of the MCOs?\n• What is the progressive accountability component and how does this process fit into the\nAWQP initiative?\nSpeakers:\nNew Jersey Department of Human Services\nLaura Otterbourg\, Director\nElizabeth Brennan\, Assistant Director\nLeah Rogers\nDivision of Aging Services & Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services\nTrenton\, N.J \nRegistration is required but there is no fee. \nClick here to register URL:https://leadingagenjde.org/event/implementation-mltss-willing-qualified-provider-awqp-4/ CATEGORIES:Event,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180207T020000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180207T170000 DTSTAMP:20260516T125614 CREATED:20180110T211826Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180122T084451Z UID:10000041-1517968800-1518022800@leadingagenjde.org SUMMARY:Implementation of the MLTSS Any Willing Qualified Provider (AWQP) DESCRIPTION:Webinar on the Implementation of the MLTSS Any Willing Qualified Provider (AWQP) presented by Division of Aging Services. \nSee attached brochure with links for registration. \nRegistration is required but there is no fee. \nFebruary 7\, 2018 – 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.\nClick here to register \nMore Information (pdf) URL:https://leadingagenjde.org/event/implementation-mltss-willing-qualified-provider-awqp-3/ CATEGORIES:Front Page,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180205T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180205T153000 DTSTAMP:20260516T125614 CREATED:20180130T194657Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180130T194657Z UID:10000040-1517841000-1517844600@leadingagenjde.org SUMMARY:The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS): Annual Call for Measures and Activities DESCRIPTION:Registration Link: https://engage.vevent.com/rt/cms/index.jsp?seid=997\n\nThe Annual Call for Measures and Activities process allows clinicians and organizations\, including but not limited to those representing eligible clinicians such as professional associations\, and medical societies\, and other stakeholders such as researchers and consumer groups to identify and submit for consideration:\n\n• Quality measures for the quality performance category;\n• EHR measures for the advancing care information performance category; and\n• Activities for the improvement activities performance category.
