HEDIS Overview What is HEDIS?
HEDIS – Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) uses these performance measures for commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid. HEDIS is the most used set of performance measures in the Managed Care industry, developed and maintained by NCQA. Hoosier Healthwise

HEDIS Overview Majority of HEDIS is measures from administrative results-claims, but some of the measures are pulled from hybrid results-medical record review. Administrative data is calculated by a claim or an encounter submitted to the health plan. Hybrid reviews are a random sample of member medical records. Hybrid data can consist of administrative data and a sample of medical record data. Annual State mandated quality improvement initiative required of all Managed Care Health plans. Retrospective review of medical care and services from the prior year. Hoosier Healthwise

HEDIS Overview Results from the HEDIS data collection serve as measurements for quality improvement processes and preventive health programs. HEDIS rates are used to evaluate the effectiveness of a health plan’s ability to demonstrate an improvement in preventive health outreach to its members. Hoosier Healthwise

HEDIS Overview Data is reported to NCQA in June of the reporting year.
Data reflects events that occurred during the measurement year (calendar year). Example: HEDIS 2009 data is reported in June 2009. Data reflects events that occurred in January – December 2008 (per specs) HEDIS 2009 = 2008 data Hoosier Healthwise
