12.14.2018 ECDS Are EMRs the best data source for HEDIS ECDS measures? Do they contain all the information needed to report the measures?

EMRs are limited in the amount of longitudinal information they contain for any one patient. Many data sources meet ECDS requirements. Plans have access to a wealth of information from across a much larger network than any single provider. ECDS is designed to encourage plans and providers to seek alternative sources of data (already being collected) to fill gaps in knowledge about a person’s health care experiences and future requirements.
