Health Homes will be required to submit data elements to help the Department of Social Services determine if the Health Home model is successful in South Dakota. Health Home data will be shared with Health Homes after it is aggregated into a summary report. Data will also be submitted to the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services as required.
Primary Care Provider Health Homes are now required to use a standardized survey. This was a recommendation that came out of the Health Home Quality Subgroup as a result of the disparate information DSS had been receiving for this measure. Every Health Home should use this survey for every recipient in their Health Home a minimum of once a year. You are welcome to also continue other surveys you are conducting, however, this will be the survey that you use when reporting your patient experience measures in the layout (items 48-52).
On the version provided, there are responses that are highlighted in yellow for each question. We would consider these to be the optimal response/s for these questions.
Directions for uploading the data to HMA
Providers will receive claims data for each of their recipients on a monthly basis. This information can be downloaded from the South Dakota Medicaid - Provider Online Portal.
