MID-POINT ASSESSMENT 360 SURVEY
The DSRIP Mid-point Assessment has arrived. Beginning DY2 Q1 (period ending June 30, 2016) the NYS DOH Independent Accessor (IA) will be evaluating every PPS participating in the DSRIP program. The mid-point assessment will include a 360 survey, to be initiated in August with a web based survey sent to selected network partners of each PPS.
The selection of the partners for the survey will be based on our current network and will include partners from every provider type to ensure a cross-section.

STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL CEO BLOG HIGHLIGHTS POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT ROADMAP
Across Suffolk County, widespread health system-level gaps have led to inappropriate use of services and poor health outcomes for the Medicaid and uninsured populations. Fragmented clinical services have led to high disease prevalence, poor health outcomes and silos in delivery of care for patients with complex issues and chronic disease.
As a solution to this problem and as the lead organization managing the DSRIP program in Suffolk County, the Population Health Team for Stony Brook Medicine has developed a 'Population Health Management Roadmap.' The Roadmap outlines the foundational building blocks that are important factors for successful participation in DSRIP and future population health endeavors that are geared towards improving population health and clinical outcomes, while lowering system costs and improving patient satisfaction.
