Population Health Collaborative Quality Initiatives (CQIs) Focus on improving outcomes in areas such as chronic disease management, prevention, population-level health improvements, and health equity—rather than on acute surgical or procedural care. These CQIs are claims-based, clinical data initiatives available to primary care providers and select specialty practices. Practitioner participation is coordinated and managed through their Physician Organization (PO).
Below is a list of the current Population Health CQIs:
Focused on Type 2 diabetes: improving care for people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes by promoting use of
continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), encouraging evidence-based prescribing (e.g., SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor
agonists) and supporting lower-carbohydrate diets.
Focus on asthma (children & adults) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Help providers implement
evidence-based care, identify patients needing help early, and manage medication use to avoid overreliance on rescue
meds or oral corticosteroids.
Focused on behavioral health / mental health — specifically on suicide prevention: improving access to evidence-based
mental health services, improving engagement, establishing statewide care pathways, and reducing suicide risk
