HEDIS Toolkits

Texas Children’s Health Plan is proud to offer Healthcare Effectiveness and Data Information Set (HEDIS) Toolkits that contain helpful information regarding the measure requirements, standards and codes to use that are acceptable for HEDIS reporting. These toolkits will serve as a reference form that can be used to code the type of appointments made and ensure that all of the HEDIS standards are met. By using these toolkits, providers can streamline their reporting processes, reduce administrative burden and continue to provide high quality care to our members.

We are excited about the benefits these tools will provide for you and the outcomes it will drive for our members. We encourage you to explore the toolkits below and begin using them today to enhance your practice.

HEDIS Data Reporting

HEDIS data reporting primarily uses Administrative Data, Hybrid Data, Survey Data, and now Electronic Clinical Data Systems (ECDS). ECDS is a growing trend in HEDIS reporting that allows for a more comprehensive view of patient care. This method uses direct data extraction from several sources such as, administrative claims, clinical registries, health information exchanges, immunization information systems, disease/case management systems and electronic health records. Measures that have transitioned to ECDS are indicated by an ‘E’ behind the measure acronym.
