Amida Launches Saraswati, a Real-Time HEDIS Measurement Platform for Health Plans and Managed Care Organizations
Saraswati replaces annual batch cycles with continuous quality measurement so health plans and Medicaid programs can identify performance gaps before the audit window closes
Amida Technology Solutions, Inc. (Amida) today announced the launch of Saraswati, a cloud-native quality measurement platform for health plans, managed care organizations (MCOs), and Medicaid programs. The platform supports Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) measure calculation and performance management. Saraswati gives users near-real-time visibility into National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) digital quality measures.
Today, the HEDIS cycle depends on annual batch reporting. Health plans and MCOs collect data from January through May, auditors review it over the summer, and final ratings appear in September. By the time an organization sees its scores, the underlying care occurred months earlier. Performance gaps that teams could address during an episode remain open and unresolved. For plans subject to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Star Ratings, this delay can affect plan comparisons, market position, and quality bonus payment eligibility.
