Facilitated Data Sharing

NCQA Data Aggregation Validation Validated Data Stream badge

MNCM’s Common Health Information Reporting Partnership (CHIRP) offers a facilitated data sharing program, streamlining the bi-directional sharing of patient-level data between health care payers and providers for specified use cases that have been defined and agreed upon by MNCM’s CHIRP Governance Committee. The goal of CHIRP is to drive health care improvement by facilitating standardized data sharing that is timely, actionable, consistent, and complete. As part of the provider-to-payer component of CHIRP’s facilitated data sharing program, medical groups participate with MNCM in data validation through NCQA’s Data Aggregator Validation program.

For more information, contact Governance Manager, Maegi Yang, at support@mncm.org.
