Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS)

Introduction. (Avoid using an “Introduction” heading; the paper title at the top of the first page acts as a Level 1 heading.) Your introduction should identify your chosen HEDIS performance measure that you selected from within the six domains of care. Examples of HEDIS performance measures on  Fall Risk Management, etc. Provide a brief overview of the selected performance measure, including why you selected this particular measure. Include a purpose statement, which describes the purpose, scope, and direction of the paper. It tells the reader what to expect in the paper and what the focus will be. Your introduction should be no more than 2 paragraphs.

 Paper requirements:Be sure to read (Buppert chapter 15).

The Quality Healthcare: Measuring NP Performance paper must have the following components:

Research the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) (https://www.ncqa.org/) website and the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) that define 6 domains of care

Choose one performance measure from one domain of careList and discuss three (3) different patient interventions for that one performance measure and how you would specifically measure the outcomes.

How would these primary care interventions result in improved patient outcomes and cost savings for the practice?

How can these interventions result in improved patient ratings?

Be sure you are carefully adhering to the APA 6th or 7th edition manual. Be sure you are using the strongest scholarly evidence to support your work. This is not an opinion paper, rather, a report of the evidence regarding your selected performance measure. At least 2500 words or more
