From Data Exchange to Data Value
As healthcare moves toward FHIR-enabled exchange and digital quality measurement, HIEs have an opportunity to deliver more than connectivity. They can provide the trusted, complete and validated data needed to support quality reporting, care gap closure, value-based contracts and population health initiatives.
NCQA’s digital quality solutions help HIEs:
- Improve confidence in the quality of clinical data.
- Demonstrate the reliability of aggregated data assets.
- Reduce variability across contributing data sources.
- Support digital quality measurement initiatives.
- Create new value for provider, payer and public health stakeholders.

With a common framework for assessing clinical data quality, organizations can:
- Identify strong and weak data sources.
- Prioritize remediation efforts.
- Drive consistency across their network.
- Build confidence in downstream quality and analytics programs
