How is HEDIS data used?
Employers and individuals use HEDIS to measure the quality of health plans. HEDIS measures how well health plans give service and care to their members. They report the data to the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), which rates health plans based on more than 90 measures across six areas of care.
Why does HEDIS matter?
HEDIS quality measures involve ensuring that providers follow clinical protocols for cancer screenings, diabetes management, and more. The way these value-based care arrangements will incentivize better patient outcomes is by bringing more focus to HEDIS quality measures.
Who uses HEDIS information?
The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a tool used by more than 90 percent of U.S. health plans to measure performance on important dimensions of care and service. More than 190 million people are enrolled in health plans that report quality results using HEDIS.
Is HEDIS mandatory?
HEDIS is State mandated activity that measures the quality of care being provided to our members using a subset of measures developed by the NCQA. Is my participation in HEDIS mandatory? Yes.
How can I improve my HEDIS score?
One of the ways to improve your scores is through increased outreach and better follow-up patient care. Unfortunately, many healthcare organizations are currently operating with surprisingly inaccurate or incomplete patient information. Patient data erodes at an estimated rate of 3% per month.
Is HEDIS only for Medicare?
All Medicare plans required by CMS to submit HEDIS are included in the published ratings. Medicare plans that are not required by CMS to submit HEDIS are not included in the published ratings unless they have earned NCQA Accreditation.
What is the highest HEDIS score?
5
NCQA’s ratings methodology displays the overall rating (in half-point increments) on a scale of 0–5, where 5 is the highest score and 0 is the lowest score.
Why do payers care about HEDIS?
HEDIS Background HEDIS consists of 81 measures across five domains of care. Because so many plans collect HEDIS data, and since the measures are specifically defined, HEDIS makes it possible to compare the performance of health plans on an “apples-to-apples” basis.
Will there be a HEDIS 2021?
The transition will coincide with the HEDIS Timeline transition process starting in HEDIS 2020 and completing in 2021.
What do you need to know about the HEDIS?
HEDIS is a comprehensive set of standardized performance measures designed to provide purchasers and consumers with the information they need for reliable comparison of health plan performance. HEDIS Measures relate to many significant public health issues, such as cancer, heart disease, smoking, asthma, and diabetes.
How can HEDIS data be used for SNPs?
SNPs can use HEDIS performance data to identify opportunities for improvement, monitor the success of quality improvement initiatives, track improvement, and provide a set of measurement standards that allow comparison with other plans. Data allow identification of performance gaps and establishment of realistic targets for improvement.
What is the purpose of stars and HEDIS?
The purpose is to provide members with a means to assess the value they receive for their health care dollar and to hold health plans accountable for their performance. As a network provider, at times you may be required to assist in providing medical record data to allow measurement of our performance.
Can a health care organization use HEDIS disclaimers?
If a health care organization wants to publicize its HEDIS results, appropriate disclaimers must be used, as provided in the NCQA Store’s HEDIS Volume 2 license agreement.
