Why Leverage a Data Partner?

Achieving healthcare data certifications, such as NCQA’s Data Aggregator Validation (DAV), can be a complex process. However, organizations responsible for data integrity, such as health plans, care delivery organizations, and data aggregators, can significantly simplify this journey by partnering with a qualified data partner. Here’s how leveraging such a partnership benefits responsible parties.

1. Expertise in Certification Standards

Navigating the technical requirements of certification programs like DAV requires specialized expertise. Data partners bring a deep understanding of:

• NCQA’s standards for data ingestion, transformation, and output validation.

• Evolving compliance requirements for HEDIS reporting and value-based care programs.

By partnering with experts, organizations minimize the risks of errors and ensure their data processes align seamlessly with certification standards.

2. Improved Data Accuracy and Integrity

The foundation of any certification process is accurate, reliable data. A data partner ensures:

• Advanced Validation Processes: Automated checks to identify and resolve data inconsistencies.

• Standardization Across Sources: Uniform data formats, enabling more efficient quality reporting​.

  
  

This ensures that your data meets the stringent requirements of certifying bodies, reducing the burden on internal teams.

3. Cost and Time Savings

Certification can be resource-intensive, particularly if data validation involves manual processes. Partnering with a data partner:

• Automates time-consuming tasks, reducing the need for PSV in HEDIS audits but validating clinical data integrity at the aggregation level.

• Reduces the costs associated with audit delays or re-submissions due to errors​.

  
  

In fact, organizations utilizing validated data streams report substantial savings during HEDIS audits, as they bypass extensive manual reviews.​

4. Enhanced Credibility and Market Competitiveness

Certification, like NCQA DAV, signals to stakeholders that your organization meets the highest data quality standards. Working with a trusted data partner not only helps achieve certification faster but also reinforces your credibility in the market. This can lead to:

• Stronger partnerships with payers and providers.

• A competitive edge in securing value-based care contracts​.

5. Scalable and Future-Proof Solutions

A data partner’s services are not limited to the certification process. They often provide scalable solutions to:

• Adapt to new standards as they evolve.

• Handle increasing volumes of data as your organization grows​.

  
  

This ensures long-term compliance and operational efficiency.
