Violet's Clinical Education is mapped to NCQA's HEDIS Measures

Across the provider organizations and health plans we work with, a common theme we heard was a desire to connect Violet's clinical education to NCQA's HEDIS measureswe. Clinical Quality and Health Equity leaders asked for this to align their work on clinical quality improvement to value-based care programs, which unlocked additional revenue for improved HEDIS measures and clinical outcomes. The Violet team heard this feedback and has now launched reporting to align clinical quality improvement with Violet Education to NCQA HEDIS Measures.

Violet's Clinical Education was built for this seamless connection to improve quality of care via greater delivery of person-centered care.

How we teach

Every Violet course follows the same pattern. It teaches about a specific community, the key disparities that community experiences inside the health system, and the concrete actions every member of a care team can take to improve outcomes. That structure is intentional. Health disparities only close when the full care team is able to deliver person-centered care.

For BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, Neurodivergent, Rural, and Veteran communities, our content moves from foundational context into clinical application. How the disparity shows up in day-to-day care, where the breakdowns happen, and what to do differently in screening, follow-up, treatment planning, and referrals.

Mapped to HEDIS MY2026

For HEDIS MY2026, we have mapped 70 collections in our December 2025 catalog to the measures they directly support. The mapping is visible in-platform, so what shows up as a learning completion also shows up as education attributed to the measures the course was built to support. A few examples of how the catalog maps:

- Maternal health. Black Maternal Health: Overcoming Chronicity supports PPC (Prenatal and Postpartum Care), PND-E (Prenatal Depression Screening and Follow-Up), and PDS-E (Postpartum Depression Screening and Follow-Up). The course teaches the chronic disease backdrop that drives worse outcomes, alongside the screening and follow-up workflow that closes the gap.

- Chronic care. Diabetes Disparities: Managing Chronicity & Comorbidities supports eight chronic care measures: CBP (Controlling High Blood Pressure), GSD, HBD (Hemoglobin A1c < 8.0%), EED (Eye Exam), KED (Kidney Health Evaluation), BPD, SPC-E, and SPD-E. One course, eight measures, taught through the lens of the populations who experience the worst diabetes outcomes.

- Cancer prevention. Cancer Screenings: Breast & Cervical Cancer in LGBQ & TGNC Communities supports BCS-E and CCS-E. It addresses the documented under-screening of LGBTQIA+ patients and the practical workflow changes that improve uptake. An Intersectional Approach to Colorectal Cancer Screening supports COL-E.

- Behavioral health. Depression Screening: Primary Care and Depression Screening: Mental Health both support DSF-E (Depression Screening and Follow-Up). Companion courses cover Veteran, Rural, and youth populations, including Rural Communities: Treating Depression & Suicide (DSF-E, FUM) and Substance Use: Addressing the Complex Needs of Youth (IET, FUA, POD, FUI).

- Preventive care and immunization. Vaccines: Ensuring Equity and Quality for Underserved Populations supports CIS-E, IMA-E, AIS-E, and PRS-E across childhood, adolescent, adult, and prenatal immunization measures. Preventive Care: The Basics supports AAP, DSF-E, and SNS-E.

- Social drivers. Social Determinants of Health and Mental Health: Conducting Culturally Responsive Intakes both support SNS-E (Social Need Screening and Intervention), one of the cross-cutting MY2026 measures.

These are illustrative. The full crosswalk covers 66 HEDIS MY2026 measures, including the 22 that are race and ethnicity stratified within NCQA Accredetation reporting.

Why it works

There's a reason teaching about communities and disparities translates into HEDIS performance. The measures are most often missed in the same populations where affirming care is hardest to find. When a clinician understands why a Black patient needs a different prenatal depression follow-up plan, or why an LGBTQIA+ patient is overdue for cervical cancer screening, the action they take next is the action HEDIS is measuring.

Advancing the capability to deliver affirming care and improving HEDIS performance aren't separate initiatives. They're the same work and shown two ways. That's how Violet continues to demonstrate clinical quality and health outcomes improvement: by teaching about communities, the disparities they experience, and the actions every care team can take to change them.
