Introducing the CSRI Health Data Utility Capability Model (Virtual)

By October 28, 2025November 3rd, 2025Events

Developed by CSRI with input from external stakeholders and Civitas, the Health Data Utility (HDU) Capability Model is a new approach for characterizing and assessing the maturity level of HDUs across the country to support the advancement of interoperability and health data exchange to promote improvements in health and healthcare.

The HDU Capability model provides a practical, stakeholder-driven approach that describes both the core capabilities of HDUs and those required to deliver value and services to the stakeholders they serve, including providers, public and private sector payers, public health agencies, researchers, and patients.

In this webinar, learn about the HDU Capability Model, the 160+ capabilities identified within the Model, scoring methodology to assess an HDU’s performance, and how the Model offers emerging HDUs and HIEs pursuing HDU status both a roadmap and standardized ways to communicate the value and alignment of their data services with the needs of key stakeholders.

Speakers:

  • Jolie Ritzo, MPH, Interim CEO, Civitas Networks for Health
  • John Kansky, President & Chief Executive Officer, Indiana Health Information Exchange
  • J. Marc Overhage, M.D., Ph.D., Principal, The Overhage Group and Professor, The Fairbanks School of Public Health

Additionally, the HDU Capability Model is now open for public comment through December 12, 2025. Your input is greatly appreciated. Please email your feedback to hdu@civitasforhealth.org.
