Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS)

The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a set of performance measures used to evaluate the quality of healthcare services. Developed by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), HEDIS helps compare how well different health plans provide care. It covers areas like preventive services, chronic disease management, and patient satisfaction. By analyzing HEDIS data, insurers and healthcare providers can identify strengths and weaknesses in their services, ultimately aiming to improve healthcare quality and outcomes for patients. This ensures that patients receive appropriate and effective care.
