The Future of HEDIS - Episode 12
6 Topics and Themes: The future of HEDIS focuses on 6 core ideas.
The Future of HEDIS: Digital Measures and Health Equity
The first episode in 2021 of The Future of HEDIS webinar series will address:
- Digital Measures: The what, why and when of our ideas for Electronic Clinical Data Systems (ECDS) reporting.
- Health Equity: Using HEDIS to address disparities.
The future of HEDIS focuses on 6Â core ideas:
- Allowable Adjustments: New flexibility lets users modify measures without changing their clinical intent.
- Licensing and Certification: Updated requirements ensure accuracy of measure results.
- Digital Measures: HEDIS specifications that download directly into users’ data systems bring new ease.
- Electronic Clinical Data Systems (ECDS): This new reporting method helps clinical data create insight for managing the health of individuals and groups.
- Schedule Change: A new schedule gives users more time by giving them complete measure specs sooner—11 months earlier than the traditional timeline.
- Telehealth: The access to care that telehealth has brought Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic is vital to quality now and after the pandemic.
