You Know What's Changing. Now Build the Plan.

The rules are out. The timelines are taking shape. Now comes the harder part: turning them into a quality strategy that actually works.

The HEDIS® & Quality Improvement Summit brings together the people responsible for making that happen: health plan quality leaders navigating the move to digital HEDIS®, evolving Star Ratings, new measures, tighter budgets, AI adoption, and the constant pressure to improve performance.

Spend three days in Baltimore getting beyond the what and into the how: benchmark your approach with other health plans, work through your toughest measures, hear directly from NCQA, and leave with practical strategies you can put to work when you get home.

This is where HEDIS® teams come to solve what’s next.

What's New for 2026:

  • 16 HEDIS® Measure Work Groups: Pick the measures that matter most to your plan and work through them with peers tackling the same challenges.
  • MY 2027–MY 2030 Transition Roadmap: Map out what needs to happen (and when) as your plan moves toward fully digital HEDIS®
  • AI Bootcamp + Plan-Side Case Studies: Go beyond the hype with real use cases, costs, accuracy rates, governance considerations, and lessons learned.
  • NCQA Fireside Chat: Hear directly from NCQA and dig into MY 2027, digital HEDIS®, and what health plans should be preparing for now.
  • 7 Facilitated Roundtables: Have the conversations that don’t always make it onto the main stage, from FHIR readiness and outreach fatigue to small-plan strategy and workforce reskilling.
