Collaboration is critical for progress – and momentum is building.

A Working Group of 12-15 operational and financial PI experts with 200+ combined years of experience are creating standards and benchmarking guidance and support.

Over 30 health plans are engaged in an iterative process to provide feedback on the guidance.

Kisaco Research, an independent research firm and creator of the HPRI series, is leading the initiative.
