Janet M. Corrigan, Ph.D.. Interview by Marie E. Sinioris.
The ability of health care purchasers and consumers to make objective evaluations and comparisons of health plan performance is a critical element in achieving competition based on quality and value. The Health Plan Employer Data and Information Set, commonly referred to as HEDIS 2.0, is a step toward making such evaluations and comparisons possible. To get an inside perspective on HEDIS and its implications for health care, QMHC interviewed Janet Corrigan, Ph.D., Vice President, Planning and Development, National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). Dr. Corrigan is in charge of NCQA's efforts to implement and continually improve HEDIS.
