Health Market Science

Services help healthcare organizations determine compliance risk and plan for improvements in enterprise system performance.

King of Prussia, PA – June 23, 2011 – Health Market Science (HMS), a leading supplier of provider data and data management solutions, today announced the availability of tiered provider data assessment services to give healthcare organizations a trusted means to gauge the quality of their customer data —healthcare practitioners and organizations— against the industry-leading HMS Provider MasterFile™.  In life sciences, data assessment solutions help executive management proactively manage their ability to report on Aggregate Spend as part of the Physician Payment Sunshine Act.   

In pharmacy and government, including Health Information Exchange, data quality impacts claims adjudication, protects patient health information and prevents fraud, waste and abuse. “The industry is demanding more pristine data for regulatory reporting and we see that as benefiting operational performance and wider-ranging business decisions,” commented Jeff Klein, chief operating officer, Health Market Science, “Our Data Quality Assessment Services have proven to be an effective way for many of our current customers to determine their quality exposure and how to optimize insight into their customer universe including demographics, sanctions and acceptance in government funded programs.” 

The two services, HMS Data Quality Health Check and HMS Data Quality Diagnostic, are scaled to meet budgetary and time-sensitive requirements.  The Data Quality Health Check is a preliminary assessment of the quality and currency of a limited dataset. It quickly identifies potential imperfections that may put an organization at risk. Clients receive a standardized report on the health of their data sample. The report highlights standard-logic match rates, address and identifier analyses, specialty and practitioner type, and organization analysis.

Using a client customized dataset, Data Quality Diagnostic offers a more thorough and consultative analysis with multiple levels of best practice matching and sophisticated quality checks. Once processed, clients receive a thorough analysis, outlining address and identifier mismatches, specialty and practitioner types, organization analyses, and aged, missing or incomplete records. Clients receive a recommended approach for improving and sustaining data quality across their organization.
