Help Shape the Future of Data Quality for Health Plans

Apply to Join the Health Plan Data Quality Convening

As health plans rely on clinical data to support quality reporting, care management and performance improvement, defining what constitutes trusted, usable data has never been more important.

Health plans are uniquely positioned to identify the operational, technical and governance capabilities needed to build confidence in data quality at scale.

The Health Plan Data Quality Convening brings health plan leaders together to share real-world perspectives, explore emerging approaches and help shape the future of trusted data for digital quality measurement. NCQA will facilitate the discussion and use participant insights to help inform future data quality initiatives.
