Let’s have a conversation
The transition to digital quality measurement is accelerating, yet many health plans are making technology, staffing and vendor decisions without a clear understanding of their current readiness. Before building a roadmap or investing in new capabilities, organizations need an objective view of where they stand today across governance, data, operations, technology and workforce readiness.
A structured assessment of a health plan's IT ecosystem, HEDIS operations, data infrastructure and measure performance establishes an evidence-based baseline before major roadmap, investment or vendor decisions are made.
Organizations often assume digital quality readiness is primarily a technology challenge, In reality, success depends on aligning governance, people, operational workflows, data quality and technology investments. Without that broader understanding, even well-funded initiatives can struggle to deliver expected results.
Our Approach
Our assessment follows a structured five-stage approach, designed to establish an objective baseline before organizations commit to transformation initiatives.
- Discovery & Stakeholder Interviews: Understand governance, decision-making, data ownership and how HEDIS operations function across the organization.
- Data & Systems Review: Clinical data sources, system architecture and supporting documentation are reviewed to trace how data moves from point of care through to measure reporting.
- Measure-Level Benchmarking: Current measure performance is analyzed against peer and national benchmarks to understand relative standing and identify which measures are most affected by the shift to ECDS and digital methodologies.
- Maturity Scoring: Findings from across all three areas, baselined across industry standards, are then scored against a five-domain maturity model, providing a consistent, defensible way to compare current-state capability across the organization.
- Roadmap Development: A sequenced set of recommendations, organized by effort, cost and impact, helping organizations prioritize initiatives in the order that delivers the greatest value.
Five Dimensions of Digital Quality Readiness
Our assessment evaluates five interconnected dimensions of digital quality readiness; not just technology, but the people, processes, data, systems and operating model that must evolve together to support digital quality.
- Operating Model & Governance: How quality operations are structured today, including decision rights, escalation paths and cross-functional ownership across quality, IT, clinical operations and compliance, along with how accountability for measure performance is distributed across those groups.
- Data & Interoperability Maturity: Investigation of the clinical data ecosystem supporting quality measurement, including EHR connectivity, health information exchange participation, FHIR API readiness and the reliability of existing data pipelines and integration points.
- Measure Performance & Benchmarking: Measure-level analysis to identify where performance gaps may create the greatest operational or regulatory risk as digital reporting expands.
- Workforce & Execution Capacity: Alongside the data itself, the internal capability supporting it, including clinical informatics expertise, data literacy and technical staffing, and where current roles and team structures align with the requirements of ECDS and digital quality measurement.
- Technology & Vendor Enablement: QMIS, EHR, HIE and other analytics vendor partners that support these workflows are evaluated for FHIR and ECDS readiness, integration maturity and contract terms that may support or constrain future-state capability.
Together, these five areas form a complete view of current-state readiness, not just a technology assessment, but a full picture of the people, process, data, systems and operating models that will need to evolve together.
