General HEDIS and Tips for Scoring






General HEDIS -  Tips to Improve Scores


 

Use non-physicians for items that can be delegated. Also have them prepare the room for items needed.

Consider using an agenda setting tool to elicit patients’ key concerns by asking them to prioritize their goals and questions
 

Consider using an after visit summary to ensure patients understand what they need to do. This improves the patient’s perception that there is good communication with their provider.

HOW TO IMPROVE HEDIS SCORES 
Avoid missed opportunities by taking advantage of every office visit (including sick
visits) to provide services for an ambulatory or preventive care visit 

Use standardized templates in charts and in EMRs that allow checkboxes for standard counseling activities.
 
Provide patient reminders and materials to assist in upcoming care visits.
