The Quality Improvement (QI) Program monitors and evaluates the quality, appropriateness, accessibility and availability of health care services.

HEDIS®

HEDIS® is a tool used by more than 90% of America’s health plans to measure performance on important dimensions of care and service. The tool is comprised of 80 measures across five domains of care, including:

  • Effectiveness of care
  • Access and availability of care
  • Experience of care
  • Utilization and Relative Resource Use
  • Health Plan Descriptive Information

HEDIS® is a mandatory process that occurs annually. We've developed this toolkit to help identify required preventive services.
