Quality and HEDIS

Quality care, and HEDIS measurement go hand in hand. HEDIS which stands for (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set) is a way for providers, plans and IPAs to measure the effectiveness of quality care. Many of the measures are designed to proactively provide care that is most effective for each age group or gender. While other measures let us monitor different disease states in a way that allows for better results in treatment.

Health care delivery providers be it your local doctors or plans who have higher scores are proving though this data that outreach to provide care is important, whether it is by mail, phone or other means. It also demonstrates innovation in the way care is provided by forecasting preventative services in an expedited manner.

Why It Matters?

You Deserve for the plan you choose and your doctor to do everything in their power to keep you healthy! HEDIS allows us to review and make sure this is happening by condensing all the measures into 3 key areas:



1. Effectiveness of Care – Providing preventative health and following a care plan to prevent as best we can those who are sick from worsening.
2. Risk Adjusted Utilization – Making sure those who need critical services can receive them and that anyone who can help is involved in your care if you have an acute condition.
3. Access to Care – Ensures that everyone who needs an appointment can get one within a reasonable timeframe and that no one is being left out.
