Ten new capabilities added across several themes, including FHIR, data quality, the Child Opportunity Index, public benefit reporting, and dental and vision providers
In 2023, the Consortium for State and Regional Interoperability (CSRI), an organization of nonprofit health data networks, created a Maturity Model for health data utilities (HDUs), and then in 2025 built on that framework by creating a Capability Model that identified more than 160 capabilities for a clearer understanding of what an HDU can do. Now with input from stakeholders CSRI has refined the Capability Model to include state-based entities as well as nonprofit ones.
HDUs are defined as nonprofit organizations with information exchange at their core and multi-stakeholder governance. Through their mission and function, they seek to meet the comprehensive health data delivery and analytics needs of a state’s public and private sectors. Last year, the nonprofit New York eHealth Collaborative (NYeC), which leads health information exchange efforts across the state of New York, joined CSRI. The founding CSRI members are Contexture, CRISP, CyncHealth, Indiana Health Information Exchange, and Manifest MedEx.
