Evidence Based Measures use claims and enrollment data to assess adherence to recognized clinical guidelines. Health Benchmarks, Inc (HBI) maintains expert Scientific Advisory boards to advise on the specifics of indicator construction and development. These indicators were developed in collaboration with HBI and cover significant areas of care in diabetes, coronary artery disease, preventive health services, and others. Performance on the indicators is attributed to physicians based upon their involvement in treating the qualifying patients.
