Initiative will help healthcare organizations
improve their digital maturity and enhance care delivery
MCLEAN,
Va., Feb. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Guidehouse,
a global consultancy providing advisory, digital, and managed
services to the commercial and public sectors, has teamed up with
the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS),
a trusted global authority on healthcare innovation, to advance
digital health transformation. As a new member of the HIMSS Digital
Health Consulting Partner (DHCP) program, Guidehouse will use HIMSS
digital maturity models to assess healthcare organizations'
technology capabilities, implement tailored strategies and
solutions, and work with organizations to help them reach a more
advanced state of digital health adoption.
HIMSS digital maturity models have been used for more than a
decade in over 7,000 healthcare facilities across the U.S. As a
part of this initiative, Guidehouse will use three HIMSS
models:
- HIMSS Analytics Maturity Assessment Model (AMAM): This
model, with a newly added AI governance and deployment component,
supports advanced analytics literacy, robust data governance, and
transparency in patient data management, while enabling
organizations to scale AI-driven insights for population health
improvements.
- HIMSS Community Care Outcomes Maturity Model (C-COMM):
Designed for non-acute care organizations, this model emphasizes
strategic access to care by focusing on improving health outcomes
for specific population segments through proactive interventions
and prevention strategies. Focused on value-based care, the C-COMM
model fosters innovation and supports comprehensive digital health
transformation in community-based care settings, ensuring more
efficient, patient-centered delivery.
- HIMSS Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Adoption Model
(EMRAM): HIMSS' flagship model evaluates the impact of EMR
adoption on system performance and patient outcomes. It promotes
operational efficiency, patient safety, care quality, and enhanced
engagement by driving the optimization of EMR usage across
organizations.
"This engagement between Guidehouse and HIMSS is a pivotal step
in equipping healthcare organizations with the tools and insights
they need to achieve sustainable digital transformation," said
Tim Kinney, Guidehouse partner and
Payer/Provider practice leader. "These models will help our clients
assess their digital maturity, pinpoint opportunities for growth,
and deliver measurable value to the communities they serve."
"HIMSS' maturity models offer a structured roadmap to help
organizations bridge the gap between technology and care delivery,"
added Reid Oakes, Chief Products
Officer, HIMSS. "By working with Guidehouse, we are scaling the
impact of these tools to help healthcare organizations achieve
their transformation goals, improve outcomes, and enhance
system-wide efficiency."
