HUG: An Embrace for HEDIS Users
September 3, 2021 · Matt Brock
Do you need a Hug? Are you an organization that reports HEDIS measures? Are you a vendor that works with organizations that use HEDIS? Do you want the inside scoop?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then you indeed need a HUG.
NCQA’s HEDIS Users Group. AKA: The HUG.
Whether you work for a health plan or for a provider organization; state or federal agency; a public or private purchaser; or a consulting organization, you know that HEDIS is the performance measurement tool of choice for a majority of the nation’s health plans. And no matter what level of HEDIS implementation you are involved with, there is no better way to master performance measurement than by joining the HUG.
The HUG offers you access to the most up-to-date information on the HEDIS specifications and the chance to begin planning for the future now. By joining with others who produce, report and interpret HEDIS data, you will learn first-hand about the latest developments in performance measurement and receive valuable insight into the entire HEDIS process.
