The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS)

The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a set of standardized measures used by health plans to evaluate the quality of care they provide. It helps compare how well different plans perform in areas like preventive services, timely treatments, and chronic disease management. By collecting and analyzing this data, HEDIS ensures that health plans meet certain quality standards, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes and guide consumers, employers, and regulators in making informed healthcare choices.
