HEDIS, Value-Based Care, and the Future of Healthcare Quality with Vandna Bhrany MPH
Guest Spotlight:
Vandna Bhrany MPH is Managing Partner at 8B Advisors, LLC and a healthcare quality and value-based care executive with more than two decades of experience driving quality improvement across health plans, consulting organizations, and healthcare technology companies. Throughout her career, she has partnered with payers, providers, and digital health innovators to design and implement strategies that improve HEDIS performance, enhance patient outcomes, and support the transition to value-based care.
With deep expertise in healthcare quality measurement, regulatory programs, population health management, and operational transformation, Vandna has worked at the intersection of clinical care, technology, and business strategy. Her experience gives her a comprehensive understanding of the challenges healthcare organizations face from closing care gaps and improving member engagement to leveraging data and interoperability for more effective decision-making.
Here are the 3 Key Takeaways from our Conversation:
1. Quality Measurement Is About More Than Compliance
HEDIS has played a significant role in standardizing healthcare quality across the industry, but achieving high performance requires much more than checking boxes. As organizations mature, incremental improvements become increasingly difficult, requiring stronger provider engagement, better workflows, and continuous quality improvement rather than one-time interventions.
2. Better Data Leads to Better Care
One of the biggest barriers to improving healthcare quality is fragmented and delayed data. Vandna explains why interoperability, real-time clinical information, and predictive analytics are becoming essential for identifying care gaps earlier, coordinating across providers, and delivering more proactive patient care.
3. The Future of Value-Based Care Depends on Collaboration
Healthcare quality cannot improve in isolation. Success requires collaboration between health plans, providers, technology companies, and community organizations. As healthcare continues shifting toward value-based care, organizations that effectively integrate data, align incentives, and keep patients at the center of decision-making will be best positioned to improve outcomes while controlling costs.
