Aside from the value-based programs discussed above that are administered by the CMS, there are also additional programs that are administered by other agencies. Let's take a look at those here.
Other value-based programs
The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS)
The HEDIS is used to measure the quality of health insurance plans. It is administered by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). The HEDIS includes approximately 90 measures that cover virtually every medical specialty. Many of the measures share features with those already discussed previously, or with the 271 measures found in the clinical care category of MIPS.
