What exactly is HEDIS?
The Health Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a set of standardized performance measures managed by the National Committee for Quality Assurance to evaluate insured patients' quality of care and services.
As of today, over 90 percent of U.S. health plans participate in HEDIS reviews by submitting medical records, administrative data, and other supplemental information.
