    What is HEDIS?

    HEDIS (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set) is the most widely used set of healthcare performance measures in the United States.

    Industry Standard

    Used by more than 90% of America's health plans to measure performance on important dimensions of care and service. HEDIS scores directly impact CMS Star Ratings.

    Tied to Reimbursement

    Payers increasingly tie reimbursement rates and bonuses to HEDIS performance. High performers can earn 5-15% higher rates and preferred provider status.

    How Your Assessments Map to HEDIS

    Every assessment you send contributes to one or more HEDIS quality measures. TouchpointHQ tracks this automatically.
