JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ Clearsense®, a PaaS company that partners with healthcare organizations to increase data value, governance, and transparency, today announced it has earned the Validated Data Stream designation from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Data Aggregator Validation Program.
The achievement means that the 1Clearsense™ Platform can ingest clinical data from provider EMRs in real time and prepare it for use as standard supplemental data in Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) reporting and other quality programs – without having to go through the time-consuming primary source verification process.
"Earning the NCQA's Validated Data Stream designation is not only a significant achievement for Clearsense; it's also a valuable asset for our customers," said Jason Z. Rose, CEO of Clearsense. "It enables us to accelerate quality reporting and enhance audit compliance while fostering trust in the data flows being used to support advanced analytics for value-based contracting and other applications aimed at improving overall outcomes."
Data streams that earn the NCQA validation undergo a rigorous, end-to-end examination of the quality and integrity of data and the procedures used to manage and safeguard it. NCQA evaluates data from the point of ingestion through the transition to end users, ensuring that all protocols are met and that the information used for reporting accurately reflects what was provided from the original sources.
"Over the past two decades, this country has invested heavily in digitizing clinical data. We haven't yet realized the full value of that investment because the data are inconsistent, incomplete, and unvalidated. NCQA's Data Aggregator Validation program brings trust, comparability, and utility to clinical data streams for use in HEDIS and beyond," said Brad Ryan, MD, Chief Product Officer at NCQA.
