What is Health Partners Plans’ Quality Management program?

HPP’s Quality Management (QM) program supports our commit to provide quality care and service to our members. It involves the entire company and includes: making sure information goes through our committees for review; reporting information on how we are doing to state and other agencies; and coordinating NCQ accreditation to measure plan quality.
