A venture-backed clinical data company, ClientCo, must deliver MIPS (Merit-based Incentive Payment System) reporting for a large clinical data set to Medicare within 9 months. ClientCo asked Zaazi to architect the clinical data elements to allow MIPS reporting.
Opportunity
ClientCo had two primary products developing simultaneously: reporting to MIPS for providers and clinical data analytics for pharmaceutical companies. ClientCo was focused on MIPS because the company was contractually obligated to report MIPS to CMS. This product required ingesting a large clinical data set to report their client’s MIPS scores to CMS for reimbursement. ClientCo was struggling to define and delineate an MVP for this product that would launch within their allowed timeframe. ClientCo hired Zaazi because of our expertise in clinical data interoperability, quality metrics and gaining clinical insights out of structured data.
Results
Zaazi’s strategic dissection of the entire MIPS product brought clarity to business decisions the leadership team needed to act on. Based on Zaazi’s analysis, ClientCo was able to pivot effectively to provision a new team to negotiate hiring a 3rd party for delivering MIPS this calendar year. Zaazi was redirected to evaluate the overall business strategy for ClientCo across ClientCo’s product portfolio.
