21 May How the IMAT Intelligence Platform Supports the CMS Innovation for Healthier Lives

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center has outlined an ambitious vision for the future of American healthcare: to “Make America Healthy Again.” This bold strategy emphasizes prevention, patient empowerment, and competition as the key pillars to transform care delivery and improve health outcomes.

As detailed in a recent CMS blog post, this initiative aims to reshape healthcare around proactive and patient-centered model. Data is the thread that connects every element. That’s where the IMAT Intelligence platform comes into play. Designed to deliver scalable, actionable insights across diverse care environments, IMAT Intelligence is uniquely aligned with the CMS Innovation Center’s goals.

Addressing the Root Problems in Healthcare

To deliver on its vision, CMS is targeting long-standing systemic issues, including:

• Escalating healthcare costs that consistently outpace economic growth.
• Reactive, disease-focused care that prioritizes treatment over prevention.
• Fragmented systems that hinder coordination and patient engagement.
• Administrative complexity that burdens providers and limits innovation.

These problems aren’t new but solving them requires new thinking and new technology. IMAT Intelligence directly addresses these pain points by enabling better use of the data healthcare organizations already collect, and often struggle to use effectively.

With end-to-end data aggregation, real-time analytics, and support for care coordination, IMAT delivers the intelligence needed to transform reactive care into proactive health management.

1. Promoting Evidence-Based Prevention

CMS Goal: Make prevention a foundation of care models, with measurable health improvements.

How IMAT Intelligence Helps:
• Comprehensive Data Aggregation: IMAT Intelligence unifies data from EHRs, claims, labs, community programs, and social determinants to build a complete longitudinal patient record.

• Real-Time Analytics: Providers can identify at-risk individuals, predict disease progression, and intervene early with personalized preventive plans.

• Outcome Measurement: Built-in reporting tools help track the impact of prevention programs over time, supporting continuous learning and accountability aligned with CMS’ evidence-based standards.

2. Empowering Patients to Achieve Health Goals

CMS Goal: Equip patients with information and tools to support healthy living and disease self-management.

How IMAT Intelligence Helps:

• Proactive Patient Outreach: IMAT Intelligence enables real-time alerts and automated reminders for screenings, medication refills, and follow-ups, keeping patients engaged and informed.

• Progress Monitoring: Through dashboard insights, providers can visualize patient trends, monitor treatment adherence, and make timely adjustments to care plans.

• Personalized Support: By enabling ongoing engagement and continuous feedback loops, IMAT Intelligence ensures that interventions are timely, relevant, and responsive to each patient’s evolving needs.

3. Driving Choice and Competition

CMS Goal: Expand provider participation and reduce administrative burden to foster a more competitive, patient-focused system.

How IMAT Intelligence Helps:

• Interoperability by Design: IMAT Intelligence connects with EHRs, HIEs, payers, and community organizations, reducing barriers to entry for independent providers and smaller health systems.

• Workflow Automation: Quality reporting, regulatory submissions, and data validation tasks are automated to ease administrative load and improve accuracy.

• Support for Value-Based Care: IMAT Intelligence’s analytics empower providers to manage performance and risk under alternative payment models – driving cost-savings and better outcomes.

A Platform for the Future of Health Innovation

The CMS Innovation Center’s vision is more than an aspirational goal. It’s a roadmap for sustainable, people-first healthcare. By transforming how data is used across the care continuum, IMAT Intelligence empowers healthcare organizations to deliver on that vision.

With the right technology and the right insights, healthcare organizations can take meaningful action toward prevention, patient engagement, and performance improvement.
