Validation of aggregated clinical data streams enhances trust in data for measurement, payment, reporting, and analytics.
BOSTON — July 31, 2024 — Arcadia® (arcadia.io), a leading data platform for healthcare, today announced that it earned Certified Data Partner designation in the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Data Aggregator Validation (DAV) program. This achievement underscores Arcadia's commitment to superior data quality.
Validated clinical data flows improve the efficiency of HEDIS® supplemental data submission because no primary source verification is required when health plans use validated standard supplemental data. This saves providers, health plans, and government entities time, and instills trust in output data matching source data.
“Earning NCQA Data Partner status unlocks additional value for Arcadia customers and their health technology investments by boosting data quality and confidence in using high-quality data for accurate analytics, measurement, and reporting,” said Mary Kuchenbrod, VP of Data Operations at Arcadia. "For example, a health plan leveraging Arcadia’s DAV partner status to certify a data stream can ensure they can use that data in their annual HEDIS submission and receive credit for their quality performance.”
Organizations that earn NCQA Data Aggregator Validation Certification undergo a rigorous assessment that includes a virtual site review with staff interviews and a review of documentation, queries, and systems. NCQA evaluates clinical data streams from end-to-end to help ensure that health plans, providers, government organizations, and others can trust the accuracy of aggregated clinical data.
In addition to earning Certified Data Partner and Validated Data Stream designations from NCQA, Arcadia holds additional certifications pertaining to data integrity, including:
