Clearsense Achieves NCQA's Validated Data Stream Status for Second Year in a Row

Clearsense Retains NCQA's Validated Data Stream Status for 2025

In an impressive display of innovation and consistency, Clearsense®, a pioneering cloud-based data platform, has officially announced its achievement of Validated Data Stream status from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) for the second consecutive year. This milestone underscores the company's commitment to high-quality data management and positions it as a trusted leader in healthcare data solutions.

Clearsense's journey this year has been marked by its participation in Cohort 8 of the NCQA Data Aggregator Validation (DAV) program, where it has distinguished itself as one of the first participants to attain validation for Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)®. This modern standard enhances data structures and enables real-time data exchanges crucial for the evolving needs of healthcare.

This move towards FHIR validation aligns with broader initiatives championed by key organizations, including the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Their aim is to foster improved interoperability and access within the healthcare ecosystem.

According to Jonathan Cook, the Chief Technology Officer at Clearsense, "Our customers are not just managing their data; they are redefining healthcare by reducing costs, innovating care delivery, and making transformative decisions. The NCQA’s validation of our FHIR capabilities showcases our proactive approach in building a future-driven healthcare infrastructure. We are proud to provide trusted data that empowers healthcare leaders to make impactful changes."

The validity of the data streams is critical for ensuring accuracy in electronic health records (EHR). The NCQA rigorously evaluates how data is collected, managed, and shared, confirming that it accurately reflects information contained in leading EHR systems such as Epic, GE Centricity, and Medent. This validation expands Clearsense's support across the healthcare landscape, strengthening partnerships with various providers and technologies.

Margaret E. O'Kane, President of NCQA, stated, "The Data Aggregator Validation program is instrumental in identifying reliable clinical data and upholding high standards for data management practices. We are encouraged by the efforts of organizations like Clearsense who are committed to enhancing trust in clinical data and ensuring its accuracy for broader usability in healthcare."

As a nonprofit organization, NCQA is remarkably dedicated to improving the quality of healthcare. It accredits and certifies a myriad of healthcare organizations and recognizes clinicians and practices that excel in key performance areas. The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS), administered by NCQA, remains the most widely adopted performance measurement tool across the healthcare sector.
