The July 2019 update of the Medicaid Vital Signs dashboard continues last month’s examination of how the Mississippi Division of Medicaid’s coordinated care organizations (CCOs) have performed in managing certain common disease states among their members. The CCOs are required to report HEDIS data to the Division on a regular basis. HEDIS, which stands for Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set, is a collection of standardized performance measures developed to compare different managed care plans. This month includes additional quality measures related to diabetes mellitus and COPD. Additional measures and disease states will be highlighted in future updates. For a comprehensive look at the Division’s state fiscal year 2019 performance, view the recently released FY 2019 Annual Report.
