Implementation and User Experiences with Azara DRVS

Health Care for the Homeless

HCH’s implementation of PHM analytics and reporting emphasized the need for and return on investment in high quality data.  Proper data validation is essential to successful implementation and rollout of healthcare reporting and analytics platforms. Poor data quality often results in missed care opportunities, and less than optimal quality of care. HCH’s case story demonstrates the value of leadership commitment to quality.  HCH assembled a multi-disciplinary team to validate data during the DRVS implementation process.
