Integrated Data System (IDS)/Azara DRVS

With a focus on meeting the unique reporting, data management, and integration needs of Federally Qualified Health Centers, Azara and MPCA aim to facilitate the exchange and flow of knowledge from one health center to another so that clinicians, IT professionals, and administrators can share their expertise and best practices through the use of data.  Now, more than ever, health centers, primary care associations, and health center controlled networks have a need to see and analyze data for population management, operational decision-making, and quality improvement based on facts rather than assumptions. Azara DRVS was designed to be easy to use for frontline staff and sophisticated enough to support data analytics, bringing value to the entire organization.

What’s an Integrated Data System (IDS)?

It’s an analytics tool that integrates data from many sources into one shared platform. It also promotes the sharing of visualizations and best practices across multiple organizations. MPCA uses Azara to achieve this task.

Azara DRVS: Meets the second Thursday of every month from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET.
