Dietician Explains How Eating Up to 5 Eggs per Day Transformed His Health
A common breakfast question is “How do you like your eggs in the morning?” but one dietitian prefers asking a slightly different version. For Jesse Feder, it’s not about how he has his eggs but instead how many he has.

Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS)
HEDIS is a set of performance measures that are used to compare health plan performance and measure the quality of health plans. These measures were created by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). About 90% of health plans use HEDIS as a standard to measure the performance of their plan. The data is tracked from year to year to measure the performance of the health plan and thus provide information regarding the population served.
The data that is collected is used to monitor the health of the general population, evaluate treatment outcomes, etc., and the data is collected through administrative, hybrid, and survey methods.
HEDIS Measure Domains:
About 95 HEDIS measures are categorized under the following six “domains of care”.

- Controlling High Blood Pressure
- Care for Older Adults
- Hemoglobin A1c Control for Patients With Diabetes
- Blood Pressure Control for Patients With Diabetes

“You know it’s Tuesday, but you never really know what time,” Williams said, looking past the empty wooden tables in her storefront. “It’s kind of a struggle to get things in here.”
Williams and her husband, BJ, expected to face some challenges when they started Small Town Market just as the first wave of pandemic closures hit West Virginia in 2020. But they knew Clay County had spent years struggling to keep local grocery stores alive; so when town of Clay mayor Josh Shamblin asked the Clendenin couple if they could help his residents access fruits, vegetables and protein, the Williams decided to open their store.
Tuesdays, however, highlights just how delicate and difficult it
