Trusted healthcare data has never mattered more

Healthcare organizations have invested billions in data-driven technology that depends on external healthcare data, but only 35% of healthcare leaders are highly confident in data quality.

Few have invested in the foundation required to keep that data trusted and current.

Now AI is accelerating both opportunity and risk. AI doesn’t fix broken data. It scales it.

Healthcare leaders know claims data is a strategic asset.
Far fewer trust it.

Technology is transforming healthcare

Healthcare data must keep up.

Healthcare organizations increasingly depend on healthcare data to power analytics, AI, value-based care, financial performance, and strategic decision-making.

Most organizations recognize the importance of external healthcare data but underestimate the ongoing operational work required to manage it as payers, formats, and technologies change.

FAQs

HDI pioneered External Data Management for healthcare. We transform your disparate data into a single source of truth and keep it current for every system and team that depends on it. It is an ongoing capability that acquires, validates, standardizes, resolves, and delivers trusted healthcare data. That single source of truth supports analytics, AI, value-based care, financial performance, and every downstream system.

HDI is different from generic integration and ETL platforms because those platforms require your team to build, configure, and continuously maintain integrations as external healthcare data changes. Through the HDI Data Management Model, we manage incoming external healthcare data – from claims data integration and validation to issue resolution and delivery of a single source of truth for every downstream system. Technology automates predictable work while experienced healthcare data experts handle the exceptions.

Healthcare analytics platforms are designed to load and analyze data for their own specific purpose. HDI creates a single source of truth that can be delivered to every downstream system in its required formats. HDI continuously manages healthcare claims data, calibrates to your organization’s requirements, and works directly with your team to keep data trusted as your environment evolves.

Yes. HDI has extensive experience preparing and delivering paid claims data that can be imported into Epic to support value-based care and population health initiatives. HDI is listed on their Open@Epic site as a current integration to simplify the process of importing into Epic. We are also listed on the Epic Showroom Connection Hub under Data Analytics.

HDI integrates and manages a wide range of healthcare data, including medical claims, pharmacy (Rx) claims, eligibility, attribution, laboratory data, biometrics, Health Risk Assessments (HRA), electronic medical records (EMR/EHR), care gaps, provider, risk files, and other healthcare data required for analytics, AI, value-based care, and operational reporting.

HDI has extensive experience integrating healthcare data for leading healthcare platforms and downstream systems, including Epic, Arcadia, Innovaccer, Tuva Health, Milliman, client enterprise data warehouses, analytics platforms, AI applications, and custom environments. We can deliver data for any downstream target with the layout specifications.

Yes. Organizations often engage HDI when external healthcare data issues delay analytics, AI, value-based care, or platform implementations. Our Data Management Model, purpose-built technology, proven processes, and hands-on healthcare data experts enable us to implement in as little as three weeks.

Yes, HDI can help with platform migration. If you are an existing client, we can migrate all your data (up to the new target’s history limits) by translating it into the new layout. If you are not a current client, we can prepare your data for the move to a new target destination – and your existing targets. We have experience with 627 vendors and can add new ones as needed.

During the buying process, HDI conducts an efficient discovery to document your business objectives, stakeholders, data sources, downstream systems, and business rules – so that by the time the contract is signed, the team launching your implementation already knows your environment. Once you’re live, the HDI Data Management Model keeps your data monitored, investigated, and improved by that same team – no hand-off to a new one. When issues arise, we treat your data like our own.

Yes. HDI is HITRUST r2 Certified and operates a comprehensive security program that includes encryption, independent security testing, business continuity and disaster recovery, and secure processes designed to protect sensitive healthcare data. Detailed security documentation is available as part of the vendor evaluation process.
