New HEDIS means more information about HMOs
Abstract
The latest version of the Health Plan Employer Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a standardized set of measures to provide health care purchasers and consumers with the information needed to compare the performance of different managed care plans. HEDIS 3.0 combines the last two versions and extends the use to an HMO's Medicare members. The 71 measures are spread over eight topics of interest to purchasers and consumers.
