Comprehensive Diabetes Care Solutions that Affect Population Health Management

Changes are coming to the ways quality, value, and service are measured for diabetes care. HEDIS (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set), a tool used by more than 90% of U.S. health plans and administered by NCQA (National Committee for Quality Assurance), allows for the apples-to-apples comparison of health plan performance and are also incorporated into MACRA quality category measurements.

HEDIS Comprehensive Diabetes Care

The HEDIS Comprehensive Diabetes Care measure assesses the percentage of members 18–75 years of age with diabetes who received recommended care with the following indicators:

• Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) testing
• HbA1c poor control (>9.0%)¹
• HbA1c control (<8.0%)
• Eye exam (retinal) performed¹
• Medical attention for nephropathy
• BP control (<140/90mm Hg)¹
