10.15.2018 Standardized Healthcare-Associated Infection Ration The HEDIS® 2019 Volume 2 Technical Specifications Update announced the suspension of the Standardized Healthcare-Associated Infection Ration (HAI) measure for all product lines. This change causes a discrepancy between the CMS Reporting Memo and HEDIS 2019 Volume 2 Technical Specifications. Will CMS clarify what must be reported for HEDIS 2019 for Medicare?

Yes. CMS released a clarification, through Health Plan Management System (HPMS) on October 12, 2018, that HAI has been suspended and is not required for HEDIS 2019 reporting. If you have additional questions about CMS requirements, contact HEDISquestions@cms.hhs.gov.
