SUMMARY:Quality Compass Insights Series #2: Turning Data into Decisions
DESCRIPTION:About this Course\nQuality Compass Insights Series #2: 
 Turning Data into Decisions: Understanding Trends & 
 Benchmarking Performance\nUnderstanding performance trends 
 requires more than simply comparing two years of results. 
 Changes in specifications\, care delivery\, reporting 
 practices\, and industry performance can all influence 
 measure outcomes.\n\nThis session focuses on helping Quality 
 Compass users interpret trends in a practical\, data-driven 
 way. Faculty will explain how NCQA evaluates trend breaks\, 
 discuss notable MY 2025 performance shifts\, and share 
 examples of measures that experienced significant changes 
 both with and without specification updates.\n\nThe session 
 will also explore the transition to ECDS measures\, including 
 how traditional measures can be trended to ECDS measures and 
 what users can expect as additional measures transition in 
 future years.\n\nThe webinar includes moderated Q&A and will 
 prepare participants for the final session in the series on 
 turning benchmarking insights into action.\n\nWhat You Will 
 Learn\nBy the end of this course\, learners will be able 
 to:\n\n\n Define trend breaks and explain how NCQA 
 determines when a trend break is warranted.\n Identify when 
 year-over-year comparisons are appropriate and when caution 
 is needed.\n Recognize meaningful shifts in performance and 
 distinguish them from normal variation.\n Interpret examples 
 of MY 2025 measures that experienced significant performance 
 changes.\nExplain potential factors that may contribute to 
 performance shifts beyond specification updates.\nUnderstand 
 how traditional measures relate to ECDS measures and how 
 trending will evolve as ECDS adoption expands.\n Apply 
 trending insights to support performance interpretation and 
 quality improvement efforts.\n\nHEDIS® is a registered
