• New!  Wisconsin Quality Residency Program - The Wisconsin Hospital Association (WHA), together with RWHC is excited to offer guest registration for the Wisconsin Quality Residency Program. You can review the schedule for more detail on the modules and register for on-site individual modules by clicking on the Quality Residency title above. Seats are limited and registrations will be accepted on a first come first served basis. The modules, focused on quality improvement concepts and essentials, are designed for new or novice quality leaders as well as experienced leaders looking for a “refresher” in a specific topic area. Each module requires completion of pre-work related to the module topic, which is announced well ahead of time. Active participation is also highly encouraged. Fee is $250 per module.

• Credentials Verification Services - More and more organizations are outsourcing credentials verification due to the expense involved with this labor intensive function. The staff time devoted to interpreting regulatory requirements, developing internal processes, seeking provider cooperation and acquiring primary source verification can be costly.
  
  
• Electronic Clinical Quality Measure Reporting - The Quality Indicators Program is 2015 certified as an EHR Module for electronic clinical quality measures (eCQM) reporting. This certification, along with our current Core Measures Program provides an opportunity to maximize staff time, efficiency, and data accuracy while meeting your multiple quality measure submission requirements.
  
  
• Peer Review Service - In the late 1980s, a group of RWHC members identified the need for an objective, retrospective review of the medical/surgical management of cases – with a strong emphasis on confidentiality. It was also important that the program focus on the quality of the health care delivery process, from a system-specific or clinical aspect.
  
  
• Provider Quality Measures - Much like the Quality Indicators Program here at RWHC this measurement tool makes use of online webpages entered with non-personal healthcare information to determine if recommended care was performed. This program makes use of some retired core measures as well as measures featured in the Quality Payment Program and can be helpful in meeting the Joint Commission Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation requirements. We are always open to more measures to further improve the Provider Quality metrics and performance within your organization. .
  
  
• Quality Indicators Program - From board presentations and annual reports, to implementing major changes, no health care organization can afford to do without performance measurement data. The RWHC Quality Indicators program has met the criteria for inclusion in the accreditation process and is included on The Joint Commission's list of acceptable systems. RWHC is committed to meeting future criteria established by The Joint Commission.
  
  
• Reimbursement Credentialing - Another unique credentialing service offered by RWHC focuses on reimbursement. With the growing number of health plans and payers requesting information about providers, it's reassuring to know that there is a service available to meet this demand in an accurate and cost-effective manner.
