Who governs the HEDIS measures that are included annually?

The HEDIS measures are governed by the NCQA's Committee on Performance Measurement. This committee is responsible for developing and maintaining HEDIS, which stands for the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set. HEDIS provides a standardized way to measure the quality of care delivered by health plans and is widely used in the healthcare industry to assess performance, improve patient care, and inform consumers about the quality of services available.

The committee’s involvement ensures that the measures are relevant, reliable, and valid, providing a comprehensive framework for evaluating the effectiveness of healthcare plans. They also review and update the measures annually, allowing for continued improvement and adaptation to changes in healthcare practices and needs. The other choices do not specifically have governance over HEDIS measures, focusing instead on various other healthcare standards or performance assessments without the same authority or scope as the committee from NCQA.
