Guidehouse Partners with HIMSS to Drive Digital Health Change

Initiative will help healthcare organizations improve their digital maturity and enhance care delivery

Guidehouse, a global consultancy providing advisory, digital, and managed services to the commercial and public sectors, has teamed up with the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), a trusted global authority on healthcare innovation, to advance digital health transformation. As a new member of the HIMSS Digital Health Consulting Partner (DHCP) program, Guidehouse will use HIMSS digital maturity models to assess healthcare organizations’ technology capabilities, implement tailored strategies and solutions, and work with organizations to help them reach a more advanced state of digital health adoption.

HIMSS digital maturity models have been used for more than a decade in over 7,000 healthcare facilities across the U.S. As a part of this initiative, Guidehouse will use three HIMSS models:

HIMSS Analytics Maturity Assessment Model (AMAM): This model, with a newly added AI governance and deployment component, supports advanced analytics literacy, robust data governance, and transparency in patient data management, while enabling organizations to scale AI-driven insights for population health improvements.
HIMSS Community Care Outcomes Maturity Model (C-COMM): Designed for non-acute care organizations, this model emphasizes strategic access to care by focusing on improving health outcomes for specific population segments through proactive interventions and prevention strategies. Focused on value-based care, the C-COMM model fosters innovation and supports comprehensive digital health transformation in community-based care settings, ensuring more efficient, patient-centered delivery.
HIMSS Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Adoption Model (EMRAM): HIMSS’ flagship model evaluates the impact of EMR adoption on system performance and patient outcomes. It promotes operational efficiency, patient safety, care quality, and enhanced engagement by driving the optimization of EMR usage across organizations.
