Let’s Go to the

Next Level

WHO WE ARE

At Next Level Health Innovations, our team blends clinical, technical, and policy expertise to help organizations modernize data systems and use information more effectively. 

Projects with aggressive timelines, tight budgets, and high visibility require expert communicators, agile managers, and experts in real world patient care and real-world technology implementation. 

We partner with leaders across the healthcare ecosystem to advance interoperability by translating health data standards into practical solutions that enhance care and streamline data sharing. 

We take a hands-on approach to requirements gathering, ensuring that every solution is fit for purpose and aligned with real-world workflows. Our team also leads testing and piloting efforts — think FHIR testing and interoperability pilots—to validate that systems perform as intended and deliver measurable impact. 

Let’s take healthcare data to the next level — together. 

About Us
Capabilities

Mission

Our mission is to bridge the gap between policy, technology, and real-world care.


Vision

We are the trusted partner health leaders rely on to build bridges across care delivery, research, public programs, and health IT ecosystems—deploying creative, data-driven solutions that empower people and systems to work better together.

WHAT WE DO

We partner across sectors to turn the promise of interoperability into progress. By aligning national standards and on-the-ground implementation, we help create a connected healthcare ecosystem system where data moves seamlessly.

We Define Requirements — So Your Solutions Actually Work

  • Turn policy and strategic objectives into clear, testable system specifications
  • Identify and document business, technical, and data requirements that drive alignment
  • Define use cases and data elements aligned with national standards (USCDI+, HL7 FHIR)
  • Conduct landscape analyses to pinpoint data gaps and design optimized workflows.

We Connect Systems (and People) — So Data Can Finally Flow

  • Align federal, state, and private partners around shared modernization goals
  • Integrate insights from technology initiatives such as HL7 CodeX, Helios, and Vulcan to align with the industry’s best practices
  • Lead pilots and testing to validate interoperability in real-world settings
  • Facilitate community engagement to build trust and drive adoption

We Standardize Data (and Processes) — So Everyone Speaks the Same Language

  • Map datasets to national frameworks such as USCDI, FHIR, NAACCR, and VSAC
  • Develop and validate value sets, data dictionaries, and terminology maps
  • Build and test FHIR Implementation Guides to define how data should move
  • Streamline reporting to reduce manual work and improve data quality

We Turn Policy into Practice — So Compliance Becomes an Advantage

  • Translate interoperability and data exchange regulations into actionable playbooks
  • Develop implementation guidance, SOPs, and training tailored to program needs
  • Support alignment with ASTP, CMS, HRSA, and SAMHSA requirements
  • Lead user acceptance testing with actionable recommendations
  • Help clients demonstrate readiness and measurable improvement
