Data Maturity Model
Lantana’s EHR data maturity model is a rating system to assess the availability and variability of electronic health record (EHR) data in live environments, ensuring structured health data exchange and quality reporting. 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.
