  2. Important (eg. Licensure)
  3. Additional

Value Chain

  • Provider Engagement (Collect)
  • Data Analytics (Evaluate and Feedback)
  • Information Management (Refinement and Relevance)
  • Information Consumption (Access)

Need to understand what data is important and how it is measured.

The Same data element may have different meanings based on the perspective of who is viewing (Certification Board, Payer, Consumer etc.)

The Pain points are changing and becoming more acute as new payment models are adopted. eg. Value Based Care.

Regulatory Complexities are further magnifying the pain points.

CAQH has industry-wide collaborations in place.

CAQH Proview

  • 1.3M Provider Users
  • 800 participating health plans, hospitals etc.
  • 12 states and DC have adopted.
  • Providers are asked the same information and used across all health plans etc.

VeriFide goes live at end of 2016 and addresses a three step credentialling process that builds on ProView.
