QM Program
Our goal at Freedom Health is to help our members improve their health by providing the best care and service options. To do this, we rely on our Quality Management (QM) program to monitor the quality of care given by Plan providers. The QM Program also looks for areas of service that need to be improved.
Measuring Success
Every year, we measure to see the progress we have made toward meeting our goals for healthy members. One of the tools we use to do this is called HEDIS®, which stands for Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set. HEDIS® is a very common tool used by health care plans to see how well they are serving their members. We use these HEDIS® results to see where we need to focus our improvement efforts.
