The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a widely used set of performance measures in the managed care industry, developed and maintained by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). HEDIS was designed to allow consumers to compare health plan performance to other plans and to national or regional benchmarks.
Abstraction Definition Usage Variable: A storage location paired with an associated symbolic name that contains some known or unknown quantity of information referred to as a value. Typically used in all programming paradigms. Function: An abstraction representing a set of instructions that can be applied to input data to produce output.
Abstraction is used to allow for generalized answers to questions (for example, answering "maybe" to a yes/no question, meaning "yes or no", when we (an algorithm of abstract interpretation) cannot compute the precise answer with certainty); this simplifies the problems, making them amenable to automatic solutions. One crucial requirement is to ...

An example of a design maneuver is reducing the viscosity of a notation by adding abstraction mechanisms. This can be done by incorporating style sheets , an abstraction that represent the common styling attributes of items in a document, to a notation where each item in a document has defined its own individual style.
In object-oriented design, the dependency inversion principle is a specific methodology for loosely coupled software modules.When following this principle, the conventional dependency relationships established from high-level, policy-setting modules to low-level, dependency modules are reversed, thus rendering high-level modules independent of the low-level module implementation details.
A hardware abstraction layer (HAL) is an abstraction layer, implemented in software, between the physical hardware of a computer and the software that runs on that computer. . Its function is to hide differences in hardware from most of the operating system kernel, so that most of the kernel-mode code does not need to be changed to run on systems with different hardwa
The application of the entity abstraction design pattern can be viewed as a specialized implementation of the [10] Agnostic Context design pattern as the Agnostic Context pattern advocates separating process-neutral logic from the process-specific logic, however, in case of Entity Abstraction pattern it is the entity-specific process-neutral ...
