Maturity Accelerator Plan (MAP)

Begin the journey to data innovation.

Every Journey Needs a Map

Data innovation drives better outcomes—for your patients’ health and for your healthcare organization. Consumer-first industries are leading the charge, but the healthcare field can benefit from learned best practices. Healthcare and life science organizations have the potential to gain significant benefits and improvements.

Evolving your data maturity leads to data innovation. With both, organizations can improve health outcomes, promote health equity, strengthen communities, enrich the patient/employee experience and streamline operations.

The Maturity Accelerator Plan (MAP) is the action plan supporting your data innovation journey. The MAP serves as a unifying force for the analytics community. It summarizes the current state of the environment, presents a future vision and outlines the required action plan.

Many healthcare groups choose to begin with an Enterprise Analytics MAP to guide data, analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) maturity across their organization. This also aids in their securing a HIMSS AMAM certification. For some, maximizing EHR Analytics capabilities with the EHR Analytics MAP and/or the Clinical AI MAP is a higher priority. Either way, the organization will realize meaningful cost reductions and care improvements quickly—often within a few months of starting this work.

Every Successful Journey has a Navigator

Our Analytics & AI team partners with your teams to create a personalized MAP. This custom plan reflects your strategic and operational priorities and lays out actionable next steps. The process begins with a 6-week assessment that delivers an actionable plan. This report shows your current data maturity level (between 0–7) and the work to accelerate your data innovation journey.

This minimal impact assessment enables you to understand where you are now and what actions are needed for the future. Using your MAP, our team of expert navigators will guide you through expected and unexpected obstacles that may hinder your progress.

As your data maturity increases, the working environment for your providers and staff will improve. They’ll have more time to spend with patients and less time spent on data analysis and paperwork. Moreover, this growth will lead to cost reductions, improved quality, better outcomes and enhanced healthcare experiences for patients.

Every Journey Has a Destination

Our Data and Analytics team will ensure your MAP provides a journey tailored to your organization’s priorities. The result is a successful achievement of your team’s strategic and organizational goals.
