Healthcare keeps changing. At HERE25, Medisolv’s annual virtual conference for quality leaders, more than 1,200 attendees explored how to turn that change into an advantage. This year’s theme, Quality Solves Everything, united two days of sessions on data, strategy, and patient safety, showing how modern quality programs drive measurable outcomes.
If there was one takeaway from HERE25, it’s this: our customers are leading the field. You’re not waiting for the next rule; you’re already there. Hospitals powered by Medisolv are nearly twice as likely to voluntarily report eCQMs before they’re required. 95% of you report at least one eCQM, and every Medisolv customer meets submission deadlines. Many of you have already activated 2026 Hospital Harm and PRO-PM measures months ahead of schedule. Across IQR, OQR, and ACO programs, you continue to outperform national benchmarks, proving that quality improvement isn’t just a goal; it’s a habit.
HERE25 opened by flipping a familiar script: quality isn’t a department or a compliance task; it’s the strategy that holds an organization together.
“In the real world, quality leaders are not roadblocks. You are the ones holding it all together.”
– Dave Lucey, CEO, Medisolv
When we treat quality as strategy, not paperwork, it drives every metric that matters: outcomes, reputation, and financial performance.
That perspective is exactly what fueled so many of the conversations at HERE25: how to elevate quality from a reporting requirement to a strategic advantage.
The most powerful stories at HERE25 came from you. Health systems that don’t just meet requirements but shape what comes next.
Many of you have already activated the new 2026 measures — Hospital Harm eCQMs, APP, and the digital quality set — and validated your data pipelines a full year ahead of schedule. That preparation is why Medisolv hospitals and health systems consistently outperform the national average. Every measure moves faster when your data works for you, not against you.
And that’s the future we’re building together, one where measurement isn’t the finish line but the starting point for improvement.
Day 1 introduced Quality IQ, our newest solution designed to help hospitals turn quality data into strategy. QualityIQ brings together analytics, benchmarking, and improvement tracking to give leaders a clearer view of performance across programs. It’s the next evolution of how we help you connect reporting requirements to measurable outcomes and turn insight into action.
“AI is a data business,” said Dustin Wolfe, Chief Technology Officer. “The outcomes we get depend entirely on the quality of the data we provide.”
That same principle drives the advances we’re making in our AI-powered abstraction tool, which uses intelligent automation to reduce manual effort and improve accuracy. Together, these innovations reflect how Medisolv is helping hospitals move from compliance to confidence, where technology works in the background so teams can focus on improvement.
Quality doesn’t earn influence by working harder in isolation. It earns influence when it’s defined, funded, and measured as a systemwide business strategy.
“Quality viewed as compliance, or quality viewed as a department, is a very narrow view,” said Stephanie Mercado, CEO of NAHQ.
When executives define what “quality” means for their organization and align goals, data, and incentives, teams can move faster and with more purpose.
That’s why the conversations from HERE25 will continue through upcoming Educational sessions, helping you translate these ideas into daily operations and leadership decisions.
Day 2 widened the lens to the future of safety and transparency.
Leah Binder (President & CEO, The Leapfrog Group) joined Kristen Beatson and Bailee Schleisman of Medisolv to discuss how safety must be operational, not ornamental.
Their message was clear: safety isn’t a side project, it’s the heartbeat of quality.
Safety is the fastest lever for improving outcomes, reducing cost, and building trust when it’s measured electronically and acted on in real time.
As we look ahead to 2026, that mindset — data plus accountability — will define the hospitals that lead the next generation of quality improvement.
While the keynotes inspired, the breakout sessions armed attendees with practical playbooks.
