HEDIS Quality Measures

HEDIS stands for Health Plan Employer Data and Information Set. It is a health plan measurement tool that looks at different features of health care. We present HEDIS results on managed care plans to:

• allow consumers to reliably compare health plan performance, and
• spur the health plans to make internal efforts at quality improvement.

You can use this information to see how your plan scored against the FEHB average and against other FEHB plans. We report FEHB health plan results for the following HEDIS measures:

• Antidepressant Medication Management
• Beta Blocker Treatment
• Breast Cancer Screening
• Cervical Cancer Screening
• Cholesterol Management After Acute Cardiovascular Events
• Childhood Immunization Status
• Comprehensive Diabetes Care
• Follow-up After Hospitalization For Mental Illness
• Prenatal and Postpartum Care

HEDIS is developed and maintained by the National Committee for Quality Assurance, a not for profit organization committed to assessing, reporting on, and improving the quality of health care.
