HDC Discover is a web-based application that empowers primary care providers to recognize trends, identify strengths, and consider opportunities in their unique practices.
HDC aggregates health data to enable sharing and comparison of aggregate clinical measures, identified and defined as per the HDC’s Clinical Data Stewardship Committee (CDSC) that is composed of your primary care peers.
HDC Discover currently has over 350 measures and we are always working hard to add more relevant ones.
Measurement categories include disease management, prevalence, prevention, screening, documentation, and panel management. All measures are vetted by the CDSC during development to ensure physician stewardship and oversight.
