NCQA expands Quality Compass
More extensive comparisons of health plans will become possible with the release later this month of Quality Compass 2.0, a CD-ROM product of the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) in Washington, DC.
The new version provides information on about 300 health plans with Health Plan Employer Data and Information Set (HEDIS 3.0) and patient satisfaction measures. That represents both an increase in the number of plans participating and the number of measures included.
NCQA also announced an alliance with HCIA, a East Greenwich, RI-based health care information company, which will provide for greater marketing and dissemination of Quality Compass.
For ordering information on Quality Compass, contact the NCQA Publications Center, (800) 839-6487.
