Verisk Health’s HEDIS Solution Fully Certified and Ready for the 2012 Season

Verisk Health announced that its HEDIS® Performance Measurement solution has been certified by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and is ready for 2012 Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) reporting. This year marks the 11th straight season that the company has achieved full certification. Verisk Health is a global leader in risk management solutions and a long-standing NCQA® HEDIS Software Certification beta-testing partner.

"We're pleased to once again deliver a fully-certified HEDIS solution so early in the 2012 reporting season," said Nathan Gunn, MD, president of the Enterprise Analytics Division of Verisk Health. "And, we are excited to offer a solution optimized to further reduce run time, thereby providing the timely, monthly reporting that is critical to strategic initiatives such as Five Star quality improvement programs."

To make sure that HEDIS stays current, the NCQA has established a process to update the measurements annually. The NCQA HEDIS Software Certification process requires solution providers to re-certify each year to ensure compliance with the latest quality measures. Verisk Health has a long-standing partnership with NCQA, achieving certification each year since 2001 and acting as a certification beta-testing vendor for the organization since 2003.
