1 2012 HEDIS 2012 A Detailed Data Set From the Year 2011 Commercial Product

3 We are pleased to present the AvMed HEDIS 2012 Report, a detailed data set designed to give employers and consumers an objective look at how we re keeping members well and how we re caring for members when they re sick. The National Committee for Quality Assurance developed HEDIS (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set) as a framework for health plans to collect, analyze and report identical performance measurements each year. In fact, more than 90 percent of America s health plans utilize HEDIS to measure performance on important dimensions of care and service. Quality health care can be defined as the extent to which members get the care they need in a manner that most effectively protects or restores their health. The performance measures in HEDIS are related to many significant public health issues such as cancer, heart disease, smoking, asthma and diabetes. HEDIS allows objective assessment of a health plan s value in comparison with other health plans. HEDIS has gone a long way in showing employers how their employees will be treated in various areas of health care services. Choosing a highquality health plan plays a significant role in determining whether employees will get high-quality care. The scope of the NCQA HEDIS Compliance Audit includes the following domains: Effectiveness of Care; Access/Availability of Care; Satisfaction with the Experience of Care; Health Plan Stability; Use of Services; Cost of Care; and, Health Plan Descriptive Information. AvMed Health Plans has undergone a Full Audit. 1
