eHealth Data and Technology:
Value or Burden?

Too often information is:

Captured, but unavailable for re-use and reporting

Interoperable, but not where needed

Compliant, but not meaningful

All this for way too much time and money spent.

Data Maturity Model

Lantana’s data element maturity model is a rating system to assess the availability and variability of data in live EHR environments. A high maturity rating indicates high availability and low variability of structure and form while a low maturity rating indicates a lack of availability, high variability in format, or structure, or both. Our analysts use the maturity model to assess the quality and availability of data and to evaluate data gaps in production environments.
