The Healthcare
Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is one of the most
widely used sets of health care performance measure in the United States. The
term “HEDIS” originated in the late 1980s as the product of a group of
forward-thinking employers and quality experts, and was entrusted to NCQA in
the early 1990s. The NCQA
measurement development process has expanded the size and scope of
HEDIS to include measures for physicians, PPOs and other organizations. This
data is collected via the HEDIS
Data Submission (HOQ and IDSS) System. 

• Choose
  two HEDIS® measures  that must be
  implemented in a physician practice to improve patient outcomes.
• Describe
  the sources of data needed to conduct the two measures. 
• Using
  one of the quality improvement models (Lean, PDSA, or Six Sigma), explain
  how you would use the model to implement the two chosen HEDIS® Measures.

Here are my two choices:

Smoking Cessation: 

c. Current smokers seen by a physician during the year who
were advised to quit, and cessation medications were recommended and discussed.
Different  cessation methods were discussed. 

Weight Assessment: 

d. Patients between the ages of 3-17 who had been examined
for body mass index (BMI, received counseling on nutrition. Counseling or
