The filing of fraudulent unemployment claims is a nationwide trend that is targeting unemployment systems when they are stretched for processing the millions of claims from the COVID-19 related employment crisis. Princeton Claims Management (PCM) is an HMH partner who handles unemployment claim matters on our behalf. If you receive a notice from PCM regarding a suspicious claim, do not ignore it and notify your Human Resources representative. PCM recommends that if you are affected, you should report the fraudulent claim to the NJ Department of Labor by visiting: https://myunemployment.nj.gov/help/contact-us/reportfraud/.

Reminder: HMH Response to Recent National Events This morning, CEO Bob Garrett sent a memo to our team members and physicians regarding the recent events that have occurred across the nation. Hackensack Meridian Health strongly condemns all forms of racism, violence and hate. As our nation begins the hard work of addressing racial and ethnic divides, we are also taking action to ensure that we are part of the solution. You can read Bob Garrett’s message by clicking here.

  • 12180000 Maternal Child and Chronic Health Block
    Department of Health FY 2019-2020 Discussion Points Health Services Lead Testing 1. P.L.2017, c.7 (N.J.S.A.26:2-131 et al.) requires the Department of Health (DOH) to ensure that all department regulations regarding elevated blood lead levels and the appropriate responses thereto are consistent with the most recent recommendations of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In practice, this law compels the State to take responsive action where a lead screening test shows an elevated blood lead level of five micrograms per deciliter or more. This is lower than the previous standard, which required action at 10 micrograms per deciliter or more. Additionally, the law requires the department to, on at least a biennial basis, review and revise the rules and regulations to ensure that they comport with the CDC’s latest guidance on this issue. State law and regulations (N.J.S.A.26:2-137.1 through N.J.S.A.26:2-137.7 and N.J.A.C.8:51A) require a physician, a registered professional nurse, or a health care facility, unless exempt, to perform a two-part lead screening test on each patient who is between six months and six years of age. If the child’s test indicates an elevated blood lead level then the local board of health will be required to provide environmental intervention at the child’s primary residence, and at any planned relocation address, and to ensure that a public health nurse provides case management services to the child and the family.

Patient____________________________________________________________________________________ Safety Indicators (PSIs) New Jersey 2018 Executive Summary The Office of Health Care Quality Assessment (HCQA) of the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services assesses health care quality using qualitative and quantitative data reported by hospitals to support performance monitoring related to patient care and safety. Specifically, HCQA produces consumer reports on cardiac surgery, hospital performance, and hospital quality indicators; reviews confidential reports and root-cause analyses of reportable medical errors; and maintains several databases to support licensure requirements. In order to enhance information, the Department provides to the public on hospital care, HCQA staff apply statistical tools developed by the Federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to the New Jersey hospital discharge data commonly known as Uniform Billing (UB) data. This report presents findings resulting from the application of a statistical tool known as the Patient Safety Indicator (PSI) module to the 2018 New Jersey hospital discharge data. The PSI module currently in use contains 18 indicators that reflect the quality of care provided by hospitals. These indicators serve as flags for potential quality problems (adverse events) rather than provide definitive measures of quality of care. According to the AHRQ, the 18 indicators are selected based on their ability to screen out conditions present on admission from conditions that develop after admission, the potential preventability of the complication, and the ability of the indicator to identify medical error.
