Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS)
HEDIS is a tool used by more than 90 percent of America's health plans to measure performance on important dimensions of care and service. Because so many plans collect HEDIS data, and because the measures are so specifically defined, HEDIS makes it possible to compare the performance of health plans. Health plans also use HEDIS results themselves to see where they need to focus their improvement efforts. Many health plans report HEDIS data to employers or use their results to make...
