Common HEDIS Measures
Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a tool used to measure performance on important dimensions of health care and service across more than 90% of the U.S.’ health care providers. HEDIS progress and performance results are used to identify where our health system needs to focus its improvement areas in order to provide our patients with the best and most appropriate care. Our UW Medicine health system’s performance on HEDIS measures largely contributes to our funding ability to gain the resources to provide the highest quality of care for all our patient populations.
