PLANO, Texas, Feb. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of healthcare, has certified measure logic in Jiva, the industry's leading population health management (PHM) platform from ZeOmega^®. Jiva is certifiedfor 10 Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS^®) 2019 measures.

HEDIS is one of healthcare's most widely used performance improvement tools. It helps the nation's health plans evaluate their performance in terms of clinical quality and customer service. With HEDIS certification, Jiva users can rest assured the platform's solutions meet NCQA reporting requirements, saving organizations precious time and effort.

"Health plans using Jiva can continuously track HEDIS-related performance indicators while immediately identifying and addressing gaps in care," says Founder, Chairman of the Board, and CEO of ZeOmega Sam Rangaswamy. "Our platform delivers actionable information in real time to all stakeholders in the continuum of care. By receiving that crucial member information at just the right moment, care teams can heighten performance and improve overall outcomes. Everyone wins."

Jiva not only monitors performance, but also identifies members that have yet to meet the target of the measure and develops a plan to intervene before the measurement period ends. Once intervention opportunities are identified, health plans can give attention to areas of concern prior to year-end evaluations. This helps streamline workflow, reduce per-capita cost of care, improve HEDIS performance, and enhance the health of populations. With Jiva certified on 10 HEDIS measures, it speaks to the platform's ability to truly help health plans on their journey to value-based care.
