What are HEDIS Effectiveness of Care measures?
HEDIS Effectiveness of Care is a set of standardized performance measures designed to ensure that purchasers and consumers have the information they need to reliably compare the performance of managed health care plans. The performance measures in HEDIS are related to many significant public health issues such as adequate immunization, cancer, heart disease, smoking, asthma and diabetes, and can be used to compare quality levels among physician groups, or against norms. HEDIS is sponsored, supported and maintained by NCQA.
