HEDIS (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set) is an important evaluation of doctors and hospitals that checks for progress and finds areas that could be improved. Setting goals becomes easier when hospitals and doctors are aware of past performance. Providing patients with an excellent level of care while still maintaining efficiency and financial balance is the ultimate goal that HEDIS supports through thorough evaluations.
Through this evaluation, doctors and hospitals find out how they’re doing in these areas:
- Access/Availability of Care
- Effectiveness of Care
- Experience of Care
- Health Plan Descriptive Information
- Health Plan Stability
- Informed Healthcare Choices
- Utilization and Relative Resource Use
This information is compiled in an easily-understandable way so conclusions can be drawn and goals can be made based on it.
HEDIS standards are high, guaranteeing patients an excellent level of care when HEDIS measures are met and exceeded. These measures are accepted by almost all healthcare plans in the United States, proving that they are valued by the medical community nationwide.
Cost-effectiveness is key issue for many hospitals and HEDIS evaluations aid them in achieving it. Additionally, HEDIS measures promote efforts to be green the more efficiency, the less money and time is being spent unnecessarily, the more eco-friendly a hospital is simple as that.
