title: Monitoring managed care's quality.
abstract: The Health Plan Employer Data and information Set (HEDIS) relies on over 60 quality indicators divided into five categories to measure a health plan's performance. In 1995, the National Committee for Quality Assurance issued "report cards" for 21 health plans participating in its pilot project. The Health Care Financing Administration also will be measuring quality among the managed care organizations providing care to Medicare patients.
