02 Feb How to Overcome Health Data Quality and Interoperability Challenges

IMAT DaaS Solution Provides Access to Clean and Validated Data, While Enhancing Interoperability Capabilities

A recent study from Health Gorilla found that poor data quality and information sharing remain a challenge to the vast majority of healthcare systems.

More than 130 executive decision-makers across the healthcare ecosystem reported that 60 percent of healthcare systems had duplicative or incomplete data retrieved through health information exchanges. Sixty nine percent of digital health executives also reported gaps in their data.

Diving deeper into the data quality challenge, only 2 percent of respondents found their health data to be perfect or near perfect quality. And, only 38 percent stated that their data was “good quality.”

However, the value of health data is paramount with 61 percent wanting to use patient data for delivering better care overall. In terms of interoperability, the majority of health systems plan on making investments into health data exchange solutions this year.

Overall, the big takeaway is that more can be done to enhance data quality and interoperability. Fortunately, there is a viable and easy-to-use solution that helps improve the data quality challenges identified in the study.

With the goal of providing access to actionable, clean and validated data, the IMAT Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) offering is a one-stop-solution for gaining optimal results from data for revenue generation, enhancing patient care, as well as for meeting key compliance mandates.

The IMAT DaaS platform also enables FHIR capabilities with U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) 4.0 Standards – removing the need to fund and implement the required interoperability capabilities.

The new DaaS solution also supports IMAT’s Data Aggregator Validation (DAV) capabilities for accessing comprehensive supplemental data, and supporting risk assessment accuracy and quality parameters.
