</span></b><br /> <span data-contrast="auto">The DAV program validates data aggregators that collect, aggregate, and transform electronic data from original data sources to share with vendors and healthcare organizations interested in offering a product or service using NCQA’s HEDIS</span><span data-contrast="auto">®</span><span data-contrast="auto"> measures. The DAV program ensures that NCQA’s standards and protocols are met and validate the data provided from the original source accurately reflecting the data reported for use as standard supplemental data or in medical record abstraction. The benefit for a data aggregator is to increase its partnerships with Health Plans and enhance its role in quality reporting. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p> <p><b><span data-contrast="auto">DAV Program Goals:</span></b><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Ensure the integrity of data is maintained from the original source through transmission to vendors and healthcare </span><span data-contrast="auto">organizations</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233279":true,"201341983":0,"335559739":200,"335559740":276}"> </span></li> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="2" aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Ensure data aggregators accurately, consistently and appropriately adhere to the NCQA Continuity of Care Document (CCD) Implementation Guide (IG) for data </span><span data-contrast="auto">output</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233279":true,"201341983":0,"335559739":200,"335559740":276}"> </span></li> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="2" aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Minimize the audit burden on vendors and healthcare organizations who receive and use these data for reporting on HEDIS </span><span data-contrast="auto">measures</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233279":true,"201341983":0,"335559739":200,"335559740":276}"> </span></li> </ul> <p><b><span data-contrast="auto">Background </span></b><br /> <span data-contrast="auto">The current process to participate in a HEDIS</span><span data-contrast="auto">®</span><span data-contrast="auto"> audit requires Health Plans to go back to the original data source(s) to check data.
