Are there any quality measurement systems that focus on HEDIS-ready reporting across provider groups and plan operations?

Yes. There are several quality measurement and reporting systems designed to support HEDIS-ready reporting across both provider groups and health plan operations. The common goal is to close the gap between clinical data, claims, and reporting workflows so organizations can produce measure results that are easier to audit and submit for HEDIS and broader quality programs.

Common types of systems

1. Population health / quality reporting platforms

   • Aggregate claims, EMR/EHR, lab, pharmacy, and encounter data.
   • Track HEDIS measures in near-real time.
   • Support gap closure workflows for provider groups and delegated entities.

2. Quality management and measure calculation engines

   • Calculate HEDIS measures from multiple data sources.
   • Often include measure abstraction, supplemental data handling, and reporting dashboards.
   • Useful for both health plans and provider organizations.

3. Provider performance and network analytics tools

   • Focus on provider-level scorecards, attribution, and measure performance.
   • Help plans monitor delegated provider groups and contract performance.

4. Plan operations quality suites

   • Include QA workflows, retrospective chart chase management, audit trails, and submission support.
   • Designed for health plan quality departments, vendor management, and delegate oversight.

Common capabilities you’d expect

• HEDIS measure calculation and benchmark tracking
• Chart retrieval / chart chase management
• Data integration from EHR, claims, and labs
• Gap-in-care reporting
• Provider group dashboards
• Delegation oversight and audit readiness
• Measure documentation and submission support
• Support for NCQA-aligned reporting processes

Examples of vendors/platforms in the market

Depending on the exact use case, organizations often evaluate systems from vendors such as:

• SAS
• Cotiviti
• Edifecs
• HealthEdge
• Arcadia
• Innovaccer
• CitiusTech
• Optum
• Lightbeam Health Solutions

Some are stronger on health plan reporting and HEDIS operations, while others are more oriented toward provider group quality improvement or value-based care analytics.

How to evaluate whether a system is truly “HEDIS-ready”

Look for:

• Support for current NCQA HEDIS specifications
• Ability to handle supplemental data and source hierarchy rules
• Audit trail and evidence retention
• Automated gap identification
• Delegated entity reporting
• Export formats compatible with plan submission workflows
• Measure logic updates for annual specification changes
