The integrated solution enables clinical data aggregation, FHIR standardization, and digital quality validation, helping health plans modernize HEDIS® reporting.
July 8, 2026 – Pleasant Grove, Utah & New York, NY: IMAT Solutions and Firely have announced a strategic partnership to help health plans accelerate the adoption of digital quality measures (dQMs) and modernize HEDIS® reporting.
The collaboration combines IMAT Solutions’ expertise in clinical data aggregation, normalization, and interoperability with Firely’s FHIR-native digital quality measurement platform and Clinical Quality Language (CQL) technology. Together, the companies aim to simplify digital quality reporting by providing an end-to-end solution for collecting, standardizing, and evaluating clinical data.
The platform enables health plans to gather data from electronic health records (EHRs), health information exchanges, laboratories, and other clinical sources. IMAT cleanses, validates, and standardizes the information into FHIR-based resources before securely transferring it to Firely’s digital quality measurement environment.
Firely then evaluates the data using certified CQL-based logic for HEDIS Electronic Clinical Data Systems (ECDS) and other digital quality measures. The solution provides detailed insights into care gaps, data quality, and measure performance, helping health plans improve reporting accuracy and quality outcomes.
Mark Coetzer, Vice President of Business Development at IMAT Solutions, said the partnership enables payers to strengthen clinical data quality while validating it against digital quality measure specifications, allowing organizations to identify documentation gaps earlier and make more informed decisions.
Rich Almeida, Vice President of Product Strategy and Compliance at Firely, added that combining high-quality FHIR-native clinical data with advanced digital quality measurement capabilities will help health plans transition from retrospective reporting to continuous quality monitoring and proactive care management.
The joint solution tackles several critical issues for health plans, including:
- Supporting NCQA’s transition to Digital HEDIS® and the adoption of digital quality measures.
- Enhancing the accuracy and completeness of clinical data for quality reporting.
- Minimizing manual chart reviews and retrospective data collection efforts.
- Detecting numerator and denominator gaps earlier in the reporting cycle.
- Strengthening HEDIS® ECDS reporting with standardized, interoperable clinical data.
- Advancing proactive quality management and care gap closure initiatives.
- Utilizing FHIR and CQL standards to build a future-ready quality reporting framework.
As health plans transition to digital quality reporting, the combined IMAT Solutions and Firely solution provides a scalable, standards-based platform that helps improve quality outcomes, streamline operations, and support value-based care initiatives.
