PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., Aug. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Health Advocate, a leading provider of integrated health advocacy, well-being, and population health benefits programs, announced today that its Health Insights Dashboard™ has received the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Measure Certification™ for the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) measures for the eighth consecutive year. Health Advocate utilizes HEDIS measures within the Dashboard to create a unique, tailored experience for its clients and their members across all of its comprehensive data-driven solutions.

"The rigorous NCQA Measure Certification process continues to focus on the integrity of the analytics behind our use of data in population health management and across all of our solutions. We use advanced AI-enabled data technology to identify relevant measures of a member's clinical state, which when combined with our industry-leading digital communications platform, provide proactive prompts that motivate members to address their medical needs," said Abbie Leibowitz, M.D., F.A.A.P., Chief Medical Officer, Founder and President Emeritus of Health Advocate. "We're incredibly proud to have once again achieved this recognition demonstrating our ongoing commitment to improving health outcomes for our members and ensuring they get the right care at the right time."

The logic algorithms within the Health Insights Dashboard™ earned NCQA Measure Certification for Breast Cancer Screening, Cervical Cancer Screening, Colorectal Cancer Screening, and Persistence of Beta-Blocker Treatment After a Heart Attack metrics. Of note, both Breast Cancer Screening and Colorectal Cancer Screening meet the new reporting method requirements for those measures, integrating digital clinical data via an Electronic Clinical Data System, aligning with the industry's continued shift toward digital measures while improving efficiencies in reporting.

Insights into key performance indicators, risk assessment, and predictive modeling
The ability to more effectively target population health needs and identify and implement interventions
Actionable information to improve workforce health and reduce medical costs
