As healthcare organizations transition to digital quality measures, confidence in their accuracy, consistency, and clinical relevance has never been more important. Today, The SSI Group and KONZA Health are proud to announce the successful validation of 26 digital quality measures using real-world patient data.
This achievement reflects our continued commitment to supporting providers and health plans as they focus on quality improvement and value-based care initiatives.
Moving Beyond Theory to Real-World Validation
Our methodology validates digital quality measures against real patient data, ensuring calculations reflect clinical and business realities. This approach empowers healthcare organizations to build a strong foundation for quality reporting, care management, and population health.
Focused on the HEDIS Measures That Matter Most
Prioritization of digital quality measures is based on those with the greatest impact on quality performance and success in value-based care. These measures are key indicators of health outcomes, preventive care engagement, and overall quality ratings.
Accelerating the Digital Quality Journey
Digital quality measures (dQM) continue to evolve rapidly as the industry adopts FHIR®, CQL, and digital HEDIS standards. Our validated measures adhere to NCQA’s CQL specifications, making compliance and implementation more efficient and accessible.
The growing portfolio of SSI’s validated measures supports broader industry priorities, including:
- Improved quality reporting accuracy
- Reduced administrative burden
- Faster and more precise care gap identification
- Stronger population health management
- Better alignment with value-based care programs
- Increased confidence in dQM implementation
Why Validation with Real Patient Data Matters
Quality measurement is only valuable when healthcare organizations trust the results. Validated HEDIS measures provide healthcare leaders with greater confidence that performance metrics accurately reflect care delivery. For health plans, validated measures support more reliable Stars and Medicaid quality reporting. For providers, they help ensure quality programs align with real-world clinical impact and patient outcomes.
“Quality measurement should reflect the reality of patient care. By validating digital measures with real data, we’re helping healthcare organizations gain confidence that their quality performance accurately represents clinical outcomes and opportunities for improvement. Continuing to test and prove measures is an important milestone because it brings us closer to a future where quality insights are both digitally enabled and clinically meaningful.”
