Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS)
HEDIS is a set of standardized performance measures the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) developed to allow for comparison across health plans based on quality, not just cost.
Your HEDIS scores can help you understand how you compare to other Network Health providers, as well as to the national average. By working together, we can ensure your Network Health patients, our members, receive optimal preventive and quality care.
The HEDIS measures we collect change annually. Download our HEDIS 2012 hybrid measures and specifications (PDF) or see the chart below. Call us at 888-257-1985 if you have questions or want more information about other HEDIS measures.
