What is the HQII?∙The Hospital Quality Improvement Incentive (HQII) Pool is a component of the Safety Net Care Pool.∙It was approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as part of the §1115 Waiver – Centennial Care.∙Calendar year 2014 was “Year 1” for the Waiver, data submission began in Year 2 (2015)∙The purpose of the HQII is “to incentivize hospitals’ efforts to meaningfully improve the health and quality of care of the Medicaid and uninsured individuals that they serve”.
How will it work?
∙The HQII Pool will be distributed to participating “qualified hospitals” that meet certain benchmarks on the designated performance measures∙For 2015, there was $2.8 million in the Pool; for 2016 there is about $5.7 million

How Much is in the Pool?•The HQII is a component of the Safety Net Care Pool.•The other component, the Uncompensated Care Pool is a fixed amount ($68.9 million each year).•The amount available for HQII is designed to be the “growth rate” over time and will increase each year,
From the Centennial Care Waiver – Special Terms and Conditions
What is the HQII Timeline?
•HQII implementation began January 1, 2014 with hospital agreement to participate•Hospitals submitted baseline data for DY2 (Calendar Year 2014) November 2015•Hospitals will submit new measures for DY3 by October 2016.•Allocation Payment Methodology will be used to determine pool of funds for which each hospital is eligible.

What Do Hospitals Have to Do?

Outstanding Questions and Issues
What if hospitals submitted different data numerator/denominators in DY2?
To be determined
Do all hospitals need to meet benchmarks on all measures?
No. Hospitals with fewer than 100 beds will only be evaluated on 6 of the 10 domain 1 measures.
Will hospitals be penalized for not submitting data for services they do not provide?
This is not the State’s intent and is why we limited the number of measures for hospitals with <100 beds.
Is there a minimum denominator to be statistically significant?
Denominator less than 10 for most measures; HCAHPs measure is 300 min surveys in a calendar year
How should collected data be submitted to HSD?
How will the dollars be allocated? To be determined
