Partners
HCI3 was developed by employers, physicians, health care services researchers and other industry experts. We began with a simple mission: to create significant leaps in the quality of care. Our goal from the start has been to recognize and reward clinicians who have implemented comprehensive solutions in the management of patients, and deliver safe, timely, effective, efficient, equitable and patient-centered care.

In addition, they provide analytical support for organizations that want to have a potentially avoidable complication (PAC) analysis performed.
National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)
The NCQA has been a central figure in driving quality improvement throughout the health care system. The NCQA seal is a widely recognized symbol of quality, in which organizations incorporating the seal must first pass a rigorous, comprehensive review and must annually report on their performance. For consumers and employers, the seal is a reliable indicator that an organization is well-managed and delivers high quality care and service. NCQA is collaborating with HCI3 by acting as a performance assessment organization, scoring clinical data from clinicians and practices for BTE Recognitions.

Through detailed analysis of health plans claims data, BHI has demonstrated areas of cost reduction and quality improvement through identification of PACs (potentially avoidable complications). Partnering with PROMETHEUS they have created the Blues Learning Network to educate member plans and are now working towards publishing some of these interesting findings in peer review journals.
