Star measure tip sheets updated for 2024

We’ve updated our series of Star Measure Tips for 2024 and posted them on Availity^® Essentials. These tip sheets have been developed to assist health care providers and their staff in their efforts to improve overall health care quality for their patients and prevent or control diseases and chronic conditions.

The new tip sheets are current as of this publication. However, when the National Committee for Quality Assurance, or NCQA, publishes final updates to the 2024 HEDIS^® specifications, we may need to update the tip sheets again. As updated versions are produced, we’ll post the new ones and announce them in The Record.  

The Star Measure Tips highlight select measures in the Medicare Star Ratings program. Most of the measures featured in the tip sheets are HEDIS measures. HEDIS is one of the most widely used performance improvement tools in the U.S.
