HIMSS Analytics debuts maturity model
The DELTA Powered Analytics Assessment, the first healthcare-industry benchmark designed to measure and score analytical maturity, was launched by HIMSS Analytics and The International Institute for Analytics.
The two organizations developed this benchmarking service that offers healthcare provider organizations an unbiased evaluation of analytics program maturity and benchmark relative to their peers.
This web-based assessment is the next evolution in benchmarking and certification for HIMSS Analytics, which developed the Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM), according to a release. The DELTA Powered Analytics Assessment provides healthcare organizations with the ability to measure the strength of their analytics program and gives insight into where an organization should focus to advance analytics capabilities and maturity.
The assessment is administered through an online survey to 25 or more participants from each organization. All participating organizations will receive a free basic report that includes their overall DELTA score, benchmark comparisons and comparison of responses from constituencies within the organization.
