Designed for organizations at any stage of AI maturity, the Collaborative combines peer learning, expert guidance, and real-world data insights to help plans implement AI effectively, evaluate outcomes, and align with emerging expectations such as CMS0057. Participants gain clarity on where to start or how to scale, access evolving best-practice playbooks, and benchmark performance—all while strengthening trust, improving efficiency, and shaping the future of AI in healthcare.
Discover the Future With NCQA’s Digital Quality Solutions
Most data quality issues aren’t discovered until it’s too late—during reporting, audit or submission—when fixes are costly, disruptive and high risk. NCQA Data Quality Solutions help organizations know earlier whether their clinical data are truly fit for HEDIS®, digital quality measurement and realworld decisionmaking, using automated, upstream checks built on nationally recognized standards.
Stop by the NCQA booth at AHIP to see how standardized definitions of “fitforuse” data can help you catch issues sooner, scale digital quality and build confidence in your data.

Health Outcomes Accreditation
NCQA Health Outcomes Accreditation helps organizations take a data-driven approach to understanding their populations and improving care. The program focuses on identifying and addressing gaps and disparities in clinical quality, access, and patient experience.
Health Outcomes Accreditation enables organizations to translate insights into action—ensuring that all patients have equitable access to high-quality care.
Community-Focused Care Accreditation
Community-Focused Care Accreditation helps healthcare organizations cultivate and grow high-impact community-based partnerships to connect members or patients to non-medical or social needs resources that support the pursuit of their best possible health.
This Accreditation is a standalone program that was developed in collaboration with healthcare and community-based stakeholders to acknowledge the unique role of non-medical or social needs—and community health—on population health outcomes.
Wellness and Health Promotion Accreditation/Certification
NCQA Wellness and Health Promotion Accreditation/Certification focuses on services most valued by employers and health plans, and expected by consumers. It provides a framework for organizations to implement industry best practices and apply evidence-based methods proven to support health and improve outcomes.
The standards help health and wellness organizations identify gaps for improvement and align their services with those desired by potential contracting organizations.
Credentialing Accreditation
NCQA Credentialing helps health plans and organizations ensure the clinicians in their networks meet rigorous standards for quality and safety. As a foundational component of the healthcare system, credentialing verifies provider qualifications and supports consistent, accurate, and transparent processes. Through accreditation and certification programs, NCQA provides a best-practice framework for credentialing and re-credentialing—helping organizations strengthen consumer protection, improve operational efficiency, and build trust with members, providers, and regulators.
Utilization Management Accreditation
NCQA Utilization Management Accreditation helps ensure members receive the right care, at the right time—while minimizing unnecessary services and costs. Through a rigorous accreditation program, NCQA provides a framework for applying objective, evidence-based criteria to evaluate care decisions, ensuring they are fair, timely, and clinically appropriate. By strengthening oversight, consistency, and accountability across utilization review processes, organizations can improve quality, enhance member experience, and build trust with providers and regulators.
Advance Primary Care
Without common standards and a clear path forward, organizations struggle to align expectations, build trust and scale what works—slowing progress for practices, plans and patients alike. NCQA’s Advanced Primary Care Accreditation program establishes a shared framework for what advanced primary care looks like and how organizations can get there.
The program will:
- Define expectations for collaboration between practices and health plans.
- Identify core capabilities required for advanced performance.
- Link capabilities to measurable outcomes.
- Support progression across defined maturity levels.
