We’ve updated our e-learning videos on Medicare Star Ratings for 2022

The Quality and Provider Education team has updated an important training resource for health care providers and staff. The 2022 CMS Star measures overview is now available on the provider training website. The video series discusses the importance of creating positive patient experiences as part of your efforts to close gaps in care.

Topics include:

• Updated information about HEDIS^® quality measures, which are also Medicare Star Ratings measures
• A new, detailed section about the Health Outcomes Survey
• Tips for closing gaps
• Clarifications on quality measure requirements
• Assistance with coding and documentation

The video series has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. And we’ve made it even easier to earn continuing education credits this year. You can earn fractional credits for each of the five modules in the course, for a total of 2.25 credits. You don’t need to complete the entire course to earn credit.
