The MQIC HEDIS® 2017 Annual Performance Report; and Guidelines, Measures and Tools Summary are now available. The report provides results for several HEDIS® and non-HEDIS measures, and includes results for commercial, Medicaid and Medicare populations. If results are reported, measures must be aligned with recommendations in the MQIC guidelines. One MQIC community rate is calculated for each measure and product line as outlined, and includes data from all health plans participating in the consortium.
The Guidelines, Measures and Tools Summary reports all measures included in the annual report, and provides a comparison of MQIC’s 2017 results compared to 2016 results, and Michigan results to the National Committee for Quality Assurance’s national results.
A number of tools have been added to the Tools page of this website. We hope you find them useful.
MQIC guidelines assist by providing evidence-based recommendations so you're able to focus on your patients. To help your patients increase their knowledge and commitment in their overall health, feel free to pass along MQIC guidelines and refer them to the website at www.mqic.org.
