Help Shape the Future of Data Validation and Data Quality
Apply to join the Health Plan Data Quality Convening
With more clinical data streams used for quality reporting and care management, health plans face growing challenges in ensuring data is accurate, reliable and fit for use. NCQA is exploring more scalable approaches to data quality assessment and validation that could reduce reliance on traditional manual verification processes, including Primary Source Verification (PSV).
As the organizations most impacted by changes to HEDIS® audit, validation and data confidence expectations, health plans play a critical role in defining how the industry transitions to these new approaches. The Health Plan Data Quality Convening brings health plan leaders together to help inform the roadmap for trusted, scalable data quality approaches that support digital measurement.
Application Deadline Extended
We’ve extended the application deadline for the NCQA Health Plan Data Quality Convening. Submit your application by Wednesday, July 29, at 12:00 p.m. ET.
About the Convening
The Health Plan Data Quality Convening is a structured, time-bound forum designed to bring health plans together to identify the operational realities, dependencies and safeguards needed to modernize data validation and quality assurance.
Through facilitated discussions, participants will share real-world experiences and help NCQA better understand what is required to support more scalable approaches to data quality while maintaining trust in quality measurement. Insights from the convening will help inform NCQA’s future data quality strategy, frameworks and roadmap priorities. Participants will:
- Explore what creates trust and reliability in digital quality data.
- Examine how continuous monitoring and validation approaches can support digital measurement.
- Identify operational, governance and ecosystem capabilities needed to support reduced reliance on PSV.
- Help inform a roadmap for trusted, comparable and scalable measurement.
Why Participate
Organizations selected for the convening will gain:
- Play a direct role in shaping NCQA’s data quality strategy and future roadmap.
- Provide input on frameworks and guidance that may influence future validation and data quality approaches.
- Learn from peer organizations navigating similar data quality, interoperability and digital measurement challenges.
- Gain early insight into emerging approaches to data quality assessment and validation.
