Reports Outline Health and Medicine Research from Texas Health and Human Services Commission (Leveraging Quality Improvement and Shared Learning to Improve Infant Well-Child Visit Rates in Texas): Health and Medicine

2024 OCT 18 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Daily News -- A new study on agriculture is now available. According to news originating from Austin, Texas, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Texas Medicaid improved infant well-child visit rates by participating in a national learning collaborative.”

Our news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Texas Health and Human Services Commission: “The two-year program encouraged creativity and innovation in care for Medicaid recipients through partnerships with managed care organizations (MCOs). The MCO projects discovered valuable practices in member outreach and were disseminated in shared learning experiences. At the completion of the learning collaborative, Texas Medicaid surveyed the MCO participants to assess the impact of their projects on Medicaid beneficiaries in Texas as well as the quality improvement project format.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Collectively, the MCOs raised the infant well-child visit rate year-over-year. All of the partner MCOs stated they plan to continue focused work on improving infant well-child visit rates after the learning collaborative.”
