Health Advocate Celebrates a Decade of NCQA Certification Success with HEDIS Measures

Health Advocate Celebrates a Decade of Certification Success

Health Advocate, a prominent player in health advocacy, recently announced a notable achievement: it has secured NCQA certification for its Health Insights Dashboard™ for the tenth consecutive year. This recognition, awarded by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), emphasizes the impact and integrity of the analytics provided through its proprietary dashboard, specifically tailored to meet HEDIS® (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set) measures.

The Health Insights Dashboard™ serves as a vital tool for enhancing health outcomes through effective data analytics and targeted outreach. According to Alyssa Scott, Ph.D., the Chief Analytics Officer of Health Advocate, reaching this milestone signifies not just a decade of consistency but embodies trust in their analytics. She notes, "Behind every data point is a person who may benefit from earlier outreach, clearer guidance, or more timely support," emphasizing that the certification reflects the hard work of their analytics team in making evidence-based measures actionable.

Health Advocate's focus on quality is further illustrated by the specific HEDIS measures it supports within the Health Insights Dashboard™. These include critical assessments for Breast Cancer Screening, Cervical Cancer Screening, Colorectal Cancer Screening, and the Persistence of Beta-Blocker Treatment After a Heart Attack. Notably, the cancer screening measures comply with NCQA's Electronic Clinical Data Systems (ECDS) reporting requirements, underscoring the organization’s commitment to integrating modern digital capabilities with evolving industry standards.

The customizable nature of the Health Insights Dashboard™ allows employers, consultants, and health plans to evaluate population risk effectively, identify opportunities for clinical intervention, and monitor essential Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Return on Investment (ROI). This platform connects certified measurement logic with actionable insights, enabling Health Advocate to identify members in need of wellness programs and chronic condition management, thereby personalizing outreach and monitoring progress, all aimed at enhancing health outcomes and reducing overall costs.
