of a set of performance measures utilized by more than 90 percent
of American health plans that compare how well a plan performs in
these areas:
• Quality of care
• Access to care
• Member satisfaction with the health plan and doctors
WHY HEDIS® IS IMPORTANT
HEDIS® ensures health plans are offering quality preventive care and
service to members. It also allows for a true comparison of the
performance of health plans by consumers and employers.
