The evolution to innovative value-based contracting continues to reinforce the importance and value of complete encounter data. Successful organizations need to continually assess and evaluate encounter data completeness to facilitate the implementation of effective solutions for maximizing data completeness and value. Most capitated payers, MSO’s, and provider groups report incomplete encounter data due to coding, technical electronic medical record (EMR) challenges, and variant health plan data submission requirements that may be further enhanced by complex and uncoordinated value based contract and incentive rules. These incomplete data lead to numerous adverse outcomes, including:
