Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

On March 22, 2019, Clinigence, LLC and QualMetrix Inc. merged to become Clinigence Health. We are very excited to join forces, and here are answers to frequently asked questions about the merger. Welcome to Clinigence Health.

Why did Clinigence and QualMetrix merge to become Clinigence Health?

We came together to enable healthcare organizations to realize the full potential of population health initiatives and value-based care models, and ultimately to support the improvement of patient outcomes with the most cost-effective care.

What does Clinigence Health do?

In healthcare today, successful outcomes are measured by two sets of data: cost and quality. Clinigence Health brings together both cost and quality data in one unified platform so our customers can make better data-driven decisions to achieve better health outcomes at lower total cost.

What data challenges does Clinigence Health address?

Value-based care is critically dependent on data. Valuable data exists in multiple, disparate systems, and its potential is often lost due to the difficulty for organizations to integrate all data types and sources necessary to innovate and optimize performance. Clinigence Health aggregates and normalizes our client’s multi-source data into our unified cloud-based platform, transforming it into readily available, actionable intelligence that supports critical clinical and financial decisions.

What has changed following the merger?

Clinigence Health combines Clinigence’s wealth of clinical quality reporting and outcomes improvement tools with QualMetrix’s powerful cost and utilization analytics to provide our customers with a comprehensive view of healthcare cost and quality for population health and value-based care. Whether you are currently looking for clinical quality reporting or total cost-of-care management solutions, Clinigence Health ensures that you will have everything you need to succeed from a single vendor and a unified technology platform.
