As we move into 2025, your pharmacy’s performance data from 2024 is now available in EQUIPP®. This valuable information isn’t just a look back – it’s your roadmap for success in the coming year. Here’s your comprehensive action plan to make the most of these tools and opportunities.
Start With Your 2024 Performance Review
First things first: log into your EQUIPP dashboard. If you don’t have individual access for each team member, set that up now – it’s crucial for both security and efficiency. Once you’re in, switch to the CMS star measures view using the “select a goal set” dropdown. This view gives you the clearest picture of your pharmacy’s performance against CMS 5-star ratings.
Take a deep dive into your data by clicking on specific measure tiles. You’ll see how your pharmacy stacks up against state and organizational benchmarks. Pay special attention to the Quality Improvement Program table – it shows your patient participation numbers and how well you met program goals.
Exciting Opportunities for 2025
This year brings several enhanced services programs that could significantly boost your pharmacy’s performance and revenue. Look for the bullseye icon on your dashboard to access:
- The LAMP Program: Get paid for documenting patient engagement in adherence monitoring
- Blood Pressure Program: Turn those BP readings into revenue
- Hemoglobin A1C Program: A perfect opportunity if you’re CLIA-waived
- Various Pay-for-Performance adherence programs from health plans
For select pharmacies, the Centene Performance Network Program (located under “My Programs”) offers additional opportunities through their Quality Network, Formulary Adherence, and Enhanced Services components. These programs could provide substantial bonus opportunities and new revenue streams through preferred formulary utilization and clinical interventions.
Setting Your Team Up for Success
The most successful pharmacies have one thing in common: a designated Quality Champion. This team member should:
- Log in to EQUIPP weekly
- Review and analyze performance data and Enhanced Services Opportunities
- Keep the entire team informed and aligned on goals
- Track and celebrate progress
Remember the P.A.C.E. method: Plan your login schedule, take Action on the data you see, Communicate with your team, and Engage with your patients. This systematic approach helps ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
Looking Forward
Mark your calendar for March 7th, 2025 – that’s when weekly patient updates begin appearing in the system. To stay ahead of the curve:
- Sign up for text alerts about new opportunities
- Set a regular schedule for dashboard monitoring
- Keep PQS Support contact information readily available
- Use your 2024 patient data to inform your clinical strategy going forward
The key to success in 2025 isn’t just about collecting data – it’s about taking action. By following this plan and maintaining consistent engagement with EQUIPP, your pharmacy can turn performance metrics into improved patient outcomes and financial rewards.
