HEDIS® is a widely used set of performance measures developed and maintained by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). These are used to drive improvement efforts surrounding best practices.

The HEDIS quality measures reported using the Electronic Clinical Data Systems (ECDS) inspire innovative use of electronic clinical data to document high-quality patient care, demonstrating commitment to evidence-based practices. Organizations that report HEDIS using ECDS encourage the electronic exchange of the information needed to provide high-quality services, ensuring that the information reaches the right people at the right time.
