26 Feb Humana’s 11th Annual Value-Based Report: Centralized Data Repositories Vital in 2025

Humana recently published its 11th Annual Value Based Care (VBC) report, which champions VBC as a superior healthcare model – with a core focus on preventative care and improved patient outcomes.

The report emphasized how VBC aligns financial incentives with patient health, leading to more efficient, sustainable, and equitable care. It also reinforced the role of Medicare Advantage in driving VBC and details how data analytics and strong care teams are vital for VBC’s long-term success.

When it comes to the value of data for driving effective VBC, the report highlighted the importance of “data liquidity,” which is the seamless flow of data that drives informed, real-time decision-making, enabling providers to identify care gaps, track performance, and support preventive care.

The report also points to the importance of health data interoperability for driving VBC, as well as how robust data analytics allow organizations to identify at-risk patients, close care gaps, and manage chronic conditions more proactively.

In terms of advancing VBC, the Humana report also showcased how clinical data has become paramount for the entire value chain and requires a robust foundation that supports data sharing and the associated interoperability mandates.

IMAT Solutions’ powerful Centralized Data Repository (CDR) transforms VBC by unifying data from diverse sources—EMRs, claims, labs, pharmacies, and more—into a centralized hub. This comprehensive view enables healthcare organizations to close care gaps, enhance quality scores, and drive better patient outcomes while streamlining reporting and operational efficiency.

This comprehensive approach supports data-driven decision-making, streamlines operations, and ensures regulatory compliance, all of which are essential for improving patient and member outcomes.

By consolidating and standardizing data, CDRs serve as a single source of truth for providers, payers, and patients. While implementing a CDR presents challenges, the long-term benefits – enhanced patient outcomes, streamlined workflows, and regulatory compliance – make it a worthwhile investment.

Let us support you in your journey to VBC by aligning incentives with quality outcomes, improving patient health, reducing costs, and ultimately fostering a more efficient healthcare delivery system. Please contact IMAT Solutions to get started today.
