Your Health Leaders Highlight AI-Driven Quality Innovation at NCQA Health Innovation Summit
December 15, 2025 | Columbia, SCEricka Bauman, Director of Quality Assurance, and Melissa May-Engle, VP of Quality, at Your Health, joined Dr. Michael Barr, former Executive Vice President, at the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Health Innovation Summit, at the Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center, San Diego.
Dr. Barr and Ms. Bauman shared how Your Health successfully adapted Navina’s innovative artificial intelligence (AI) technology to transform quality workflows. The organization’s approach provides real-time visibility into quality metrics and identifies actionable opportunities to close care gaps. This surfaced critical payer–provider alignment challenges with meaningful financial implications, and facilitated Your Health to strengthen quality performance and regulatory compliance.
Close collaboration between provider organizations and health plans is essential to success in value-based care, yet is often constrained by data silos, delayed reporting, and misaligned incentives. In his presentation, Dr. Barr examined the dynamic relationship between payers and providers and emphasized the importance of timely, trustworthy, data-powered insights. He highlighted how responsible AI and operational clarity can help prevent financial losses while generating a positive Return on Quality (ROQ) through proactive, data-informed collaboration. Your Health’s optimization of the Navina platform improved provider confidence through transparency and data-driven clarity by validating quality compliance and more accurately capturing the clinical complexity of its patient population. Your Health continues to strengthen its population health program and advance its commitment to high-quality, value-based care.
