MIPS Project Challenge:
Optimal sought to develop a collaborative learning cycle using artificial intelligence and machine-learning to increase the speed of diffusion of reliable and valid innovations in quality improvement for Medicare providers.
Project Scope:
Optimal is a data-driven analytics-oriented public policy research and software development firm and is committed to providing rigorous, nonpartisan, evidence-based research. The development of this project allowed Optimal to augment and invest in its ReveloTM commercial-off-theshelf (COTS) intelligent integrated data repository. This tool is focused on research evaluation, program performance monitoring and stakeholder reporting. ReveloTM is NIST FISMA compliant and includes modules for secure data collection, rigorous analysis, customized reporting and visualization. ReveloTM can be purchased through server-based licensing and Software as a Service (SaaS).

Results:
The project is being considered as a healthcare clinical decision tool for facilitating the rapid assessment and diffusion of continuous quality improvement initiatives.
The goal was to standardize clinical quality assessments and reduce the number of clinical staff needed to conduct administrative tasks.
