The day is winding down and you just want to go home to see your family, eat some dinner and snuggle up on the couch to watch television and unwind. However, there is a large stack of papers standing between you and the exit – HEDIS work. You sigh and plop down in your chair to begin sorting through the paperwork that you’ve come to dread.
Why must you adhere to HEDIS quality measures? Are they really that important when you know that you can still provide quality care without following the guidelines? It may seem to you that the HEDIS quality measures are just a waste of time, but healthcare plan representatives are relying on this data to evaluate the standard of care that patients receive at your practice.
Over 90% of healthcare payers used the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) to assess provider’s levels of care. Touted as a way to align the incentives and efforts of physicians, health systems and health plans, HEDIS quality measures are becoming more and more important in today’s medical landscape.
They have a particularly new importance due to the increase of value-based care reimbursement. This value-based care reimbursement plan pays physicians on the number of services that they offer to patients, and has little to do with whether a patient’s health actually improves. This seems counter intuitive to the oath that you took upon becoming a doctor, but nonetheless, HEDIS quality measures are becoming the basic standard that must be met and physicians are being held increasingly accountable for meeting them.
Aligning everyone’s efforts is a great initiative, but now it’s afterhours and instead of heading home to your family, you are spending time sorting through HEDIS paperwork.
