How We Test & Score Tools
We’ve spent years building, refining, and improving our software testing and scoring system. The rubric is designed to capture the nuances of software selection and what makes a tool effective, focusing on critical aspects of the decision-making process.
Below, you can see exactly how our testing and scoring works across seven criteria. It allows us to provide an unbiased evaluation of the software based on core functionality, standout features, ease of use, onboarding, customer support, integrations, customer reviews, and value for money.
Core Functionality (25% of final scoring)
The starting point of our evaluation is always the core functionality of the tool. Does it have the basic features and functions that a user would expect to see? Are any of those core features locked to higher-tiered pricing plans? At its core, we expect a tool to stand up against the baseline capabilities of its competitors.
Standout Features (25% of final scoring)
Next, we evaluate uncommon standout features that go above and beyond the core functionality typically found in tools of its kind. A high score reflects specialized or unique features that make the product faster, more efficient, or offer additional value to the user.
We also evaluate how easy it is to integrate with other tools typically found in the tech stack to expand the functionality and utility of the software. Tools offering plentiful native integrations, 3rd party connections, and API access to build custom integrations score best.
Ease of Use (10% of final scoring)
We consider how quick and easy it is to execute the tasks defined in the core functionality using the tool. High scoring software is well designed, intuitive to use, offers mobile apps, provides templates, and makes relatively complex tasks seem simple.
Onboarding (10% of final scoring)
We know how important rapid team adoption is for a new platform, so we evaluate how easy it is to learn and use a tool with minimal training. We evaluate how quickly a team member can get set up and start using the tool with no experience. High scoring solutions indicate little or no support is required.
Customer Support (10% of final scoring)
We review how quick and easy it is to get unstuck and find help by phone, live chat, or knowledge base. Tools and companies that provide real-time support score best, while chatbots score worst.
Customer Reviews (10% of final scoring)
Beyond our own testing and evaluation, we consider the net promoter score from current and past customers. We review their likelihood, given the option, to choose the tool again for the core functionality. A high scoring software reflects a high net promoter score from current or past customers.
Value for Money (10% of final scoring)
Lastly, in consideration of all the other criteria, we review the average price of entry level plans against the core features and consider the value of the other evaluation criteria. Software that delivers more, for less, will score higher.
Core Features
Real-Time Data Analytics
Analyze vast healthcare data sets in real time for clinical, financial, and operational insights. Users quickly identify trends and gaps across populations to improve outcomes.
Quality Measurement and Reporting
Automate quality scoring and regulatory reporting for programs like HEDIS and STAR. Health plans and providers track and optimize performance metrics year-round.

Customizable Dashboards
Create visualizations of performance, compliance, or population health metrics. Stakeholders monitor and share key indicators across the organization.
Predictive Analytics
Leverage predictive models to forecast readmissions, costs, or disease progression. I’ve found users rely on these forecasts to inform strategic planning and resource allocation.
Ease of Use
Inovalon’s user interface feels outdated, but its usability makes up for it with highly detailed analytics and reporting tools. Users often mention that finding specific data points can be challenging at first, but once familiar with its workflow, managing large, complex healthcare data sets becomes efficient.
The platform’s extensive documentation and responsive support team help offset initial navigation hurdles, especially for users focused on compliance and quality reporting.
Integrations
Inovalon integrates with MEDITECH EHR, AlayaCare, CMS (Medicare and Medicaid direct connectivity), Blue Cross Blue Shield networks, Geisinger Health Plan, Phelps Memorial Health Center, ChartSwap, Fenyx Health, HMG Healthcare, and ProHealth Care, among others.
Inovalon also offers a comprehensive API for custom software connections and supports direct integration with both payer and provider systems, but does not list support for third-party integration marketplaces.
