Why You Should Outsource Your Abstraction to HEDIS

Why You Should Outsource Your Abstraction to HEDISTake a load off—send all or part of your abstraction to HEDIS! You’ll be able to relax in the knowledge that the data experts are handling it.

What is an abstraction?

A helpful definition comes from Whatis.TechTarget.com: “data abstraction is the reduction of a particular body of data to a simplified representation of the whole. Abstraction, in general, is the process of taking away or removing characteristics from something in order to reduce it to a set of essential characteristics… Data abstraction is usually the first step in database design. A complete database is much too complex a system to be developed without first creating a simplified framework. Data abstraction makes it possible for the developer to start from essential elements—data abstractions—and incrementally add data detail to create the final system.”

Whew—that was a long definition.

True, but it has a lot of meat to it. Data abstraction is an essential step in the process of formulating the HEDIS data set each year. HEDIS nurses are specially trained to collect and analyze data effectively and absolutely accurately, so you can completely trust your data to our experts.
