At HDI, we understand
healthcare data

HDI was founded in 2010 to address a specific need in the healthcare
industry for easier access to data from external sources. We provide
data management and integration services to health plans and other
payers, accountable care organizations and other systems, consulting
and data analytics firms, population health management vendors,
EMRs, and other organizations that require data from external sources
to drive their operations.

Health Data Innovations specializes in the acquisition, cleansing,
standardization, and integration of all types of healthcare data.
We have a deep understanding of what is available, how it can be
used, and the strengths and weaknesses of different types of data
from many different sources. Our clients benefit not only from our
detailed knowledge of the current data landscape, but also from
the early warning we provide when that landscape changes.
By outsourcing data acquisition and integration to HDI, our
clients can spend more time working with the data and less
time on data integration issues.

HDI is US-based and HITRUST certified.
