The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA®) has developed measures of healthcare that are quantifiable, comparable and meaningful. They are called the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) measures. NCQA reports that, “HEDIS is one of health care's most widely used performance improvement tools.

191 million people are enrolled in plans that report HEDIS results" to measure performance on important dimensions of care and service. Altogether, HEDIS consists of 90 measures across six domains of care.
