NCQA HEDIS: Desirable Attributes of HEDIS Measures
نویسنده
چکیده
NCQA staff and MAP members recognize that no measure will be perfect with respect to each of these attributes, and not all attributes will be equally important for all measures. For example, if a measure requires information that is not currently available in plans’ information systems, it may still be considered for inclusion in HEDIS if it has other desirable attributes, captures meaningful information on quality of care delivered, and if it will stimulate the improvement of information systems. Similarly, measures relating to access, satisfaction, and informed health care choices may require consideration of criteria in addition to those listed below.
