Healthcare quality programs are facing a period of rapid change, and health plans are scrambling to keep pace. Beginning February 24, 2026, a webinar series called Quality Decoded will offer payer quality and Stars program management professionals a lifeline through the increasingly complex landscape of regulatory expectations and evolving measurement methodologies.
Navigating a Shifting Regulatory Landscape
The Quality Decoded webinar series aims to provide practical strategies for health plans to maintain strong performance, financial stability, and improved member outcomes.
- The series will break down changes to CMS Star Ratings, including the Advance Notice.

Staying informed about ongoing changes from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) is no longer optional—it’s essential. Quality Decoded is designed to help teams understand what is changing, why it matters, and how to respond with confidence.
What’s driving this need for agility? Regulatory requirements are becoming more intricate, and measurement methods are constantly being refined, putting significant pressure on quality and Stars teams to remain compliant while simultaneously improving outcomes for members.
Quality Decoded is structured around the annual rhythm of quality reporting and regulatory activity, ensuring timely and relevant guidance throughout the year.
Each webinar will be led by seasoned Quality and Stars professionals with a deep understanding of regulatory intent, operational realities, and performance drivers. These experts will translate complex guidance into practical next steps, helping health plans navigate the challenges ahead.
