Ursa Health Quality Module

Overview

The foundational measures in the Ursa Health Quality module are implementations of the published specifications from various measure stewards. These include measures in NCQA's Certified for HEDIS® Health Plan MY 2024 program. These measures are generated at the patient-level, incorporate claims and EMR/other sources (where available), and provide document-level details for measure numerator and denominator criteria.

In addition to the per-the-specifications measures, the Quality Module provides measures to support programs taking action to improve quality measure performance. These include variations that enable tracking over time (e.g. versions with a rolling 12-month rather than calendar year time frame), "chase lists" of target patients, and comparisons to results generated externally.

Assets in this module are identified by the namespace URSA-QUALITY.

NCQA is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to improving health care quality. NCQA accredits and certifies a wide range of health care organizations and manages the evolution of HEDIS®, the most widely used performance measurement tool in health care. Find out more at www.ncqa.org.
