Saraswati replaces annual batch cycles with continuous quality measurement so health plans and Medicaid programs can identify performance gaps before the audit window closes

WASHINGTON: Amida Technology Solutions, Inc. (Amida) today announced the launch of Saraswati, a cloud-native quality measurement platform for health plans, managed care organizations (MCOs), and Medicaid programs. The platform supports Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) measure calculation and performance management. Saraswati gives users near-real-time visibility into National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) digital quality measures.

Today, the HEDIS cycle depends on annual batch reporting. Health plans and MCOs collect data from January through May, auditors review it over the summer, and final ratings appear in September. By the time an organization sees its scores, the underlying care occurred months earlier. Performance gaps that teams could address during an episode remain open and unresolved. For plans subject to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Star Ratings, this delay can affect plan comparisons, market position, and quality bonus payment eligibility.

Saraswati breaks that cycle. Saraswati’s real-time engine recalculates measures as new records arrive. The result is a live view of HEDIS performance, broken down by measure and population, that teams can use throughout the measurement year. Predictive analytics identify measures at risk, giving quality directors time to intervene before the reporting window closes.

"Health plans invest significant effort in HEDIS compliance, but the traditional annual cycle gives them limited time to respond," said Mike Hiner, chief architect at Amida. "Saraswati changes that timeline. Analysts can see score changes in near real time, compare results across MCOs, identify gaps, and act before the measurement year closes. That creates a more direct path from quality data to measurable improvement."

Saraswati has NCQA certification across digital quality measures for measurement year 2025. It processes 2 million records per hour with 99.9 percent uptime and delivers results in fewer than four hours. Teams report a 30 percent faster path to NCQA submission through the Integrated Data Submission System (IDSS) and a 75 percent reduction in remediation cycle time.

"A HEDIS score is more than a compliance checkbox. It reflects how well a plan serves its members," said Rajesh Krishnaswamy, chief technology officer. "Saraswati equips organizations with the data they need to respond throughout the year. Stronger insight helps teams improve performance while they still have time to change outcomes."

Amida developed Saraswati in direct collaboration with healthcare payers, Medicaid programs, and clinical quality teams. NCQA-aligned and available as a standalone solution or as part of Amida's broader product suite, Saraswati serves health plans, MCOs, and state Medicaid agencies.
