We prove the data before any model or agent touches it: every record scored 0 to 100, every county figure returned with its source and year, every agent scored while it works. Live, in front of you. Nothing of yours moves. Three things we score before anything acts: the record, the place, the agent. SuperTruth never holds the record. Before a clinician, a model or an agent acts on one, it proves the record is sourced, consented, current and scored, and keeps the receipt. Nothing of yours moves. The score does. Everyone protects data. No one proves it. ## The clearinghouse frame SuperTruth is the clearinghouse for health data in the Visa sense, not the claims sense. Visa does not lend you money and never holds your account; it decides in the moment whether a transaction can be trusted, and it keeps the record. DTI is the authorization step, the Ledger is the clearing, and Truth Units are the settlement. SuperTruth never takes custody of the record: zero-copy architecture means the data stays where it lives and only the verified signal travels. ## The record: Data Trust Index (DTI Engine) Data truth is AI truth. A model or agent is only as true as the records it acts on. We score the record 0 to 100 before anything acts on it, score the agent while it works, and keep the receipt. The Data Trust Index (DTI) is an eight-dimensional scoring framework, developed by SuperTruth Inc., that scores any record on a 0 to 100 scale; the published weights were calibrated in health. It is the authorization step: per record, in the moment, the score that decides whether data can be trusted for a given use. The score travels permanently with every record, so any model, clinician, or auditor downstream can see how much the record deserves to be trusted. DTI scores the record, not the patient. Provenance, consent, recency, and concordance are properties of a data artifact, not attributes of a person. Nothing in the score judges, rates, or follows a human being. The eight dimensions and their default weights: Provenance (25%), Consent (20%), Recency (15%), Quality (10%), Concordance (10%), Validation (10%), Breadth (5%), Stability (5%). Institutions can configure the weights for a given study or compliance context; the defaults are the patented weights. Source: DTI white paper, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19601616. Four trust tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) plus a fail band below 55: Bronze 55 to 69 (exploratory), Silver 70 to 79 (operational-grade), Gold 80 to 89 (clinical-grade), Platinum 90 and above (regulatory-grade). A record below 55 is held for remediation. Your records stay where they already live, Databricks, Snowflake or whatever you run. SuperTruth scores them there and never copies them out.

The score itself: https://supertruth.ai/glossary/dti-score ## The place: DataSpine DataSpine is the sourced record of every place in the United States: 804 attributes in nine categories, economics to food, from 102 live public sources, joined on one code across 331,007 geographies from the nation to the block group, with the source and the vintage kept on every value. Run by SuperTruth. DataSpine's 804 attributes sit in nine categories: economics 266, health 161, demographics 108, environment 73, housing 71, education 41, psychographics 32, food 29, technology 23. Sources include Census, BLS, BEA, IRS, FDIC, FCC, Ookla, HUD, Zillow, Redfin, EIA, NOAA, EPA, USDA, MIT Election Lab, US Religion Census, Opportunity Insights, IMLS, NCES, CDC, NCHS, HRSA, CMS and County Health Rankings; 108 cataloged, 102 live. DataSpine holds 11,220,406 sourced data points (count taken 8 Sep 2026; grows continuously). Health is one of the nine categories. No person in it. A county's record returns usually in about 200 milliseconds. Where a source holds no figure the row says "not on file"; a filled value is always labeled filled and never counted among sourced figures. Page: https://supertruth.ai/products/dataspine.

VIGIL watches what agents do to each other and to their own controls, scores it, holds what fails the gate through an authority the agents cannot reach, and keeps a hash-chained record an auditor can verify without trusting us. Every agent decision in your fleet is scored, gated, and sealed before it propagates. Patented. The Behavioral Integrity Index (BII) is one number from 0.0 to 1.0, recomputed on every event; four weighted signal families; gates: pass, hold, alert, collapse.

Pages not listed here open with copy written in the page itself; their one-line summary is in Pages above. ### Cite us (https://supertruth.ai/cite) SuperTruth is a data truth company. Before an AI model acts on a record, a place, or another agent, we prove it. ### What is the Data Trust Index? (https://supertruth.ai/glossary/data-trust-index) The Data Trust Index (DTI) is an eight-dimensional scoring framework, developed by SuperTruth Inc., that scores any record on a 0 to 100 scale; the published weights were calibrated in health. It is the authorization step: per record, in the moment, the score that decides whether data can be trusted for a given use. The score travels permanently with every record, so any model, clinician, or auditor downstream can see how much the record deserves to be trusted. ### What is the DTI score? (https://supertruth.ai/glossary/dti-score) A DTI score is the number the Data Trust Index produces for one record: 0 to 100, computed across eight dimensions (Provenance, Consent, Recency, Quality, Concordance, Validation, Breadth and Stability). It is the one name for that number wherever it appears: on a record, in a Gauntlet lane, in the Record Remix, in an audit trail. DTI scores any record; the published weights were calibrated in health. ### What is DataSpine? (https://supertruth.ai/glossary/dataspine) DataSpine is the sourced record of every place in the United States: 804 attributes in nine categories, economics to food, from 102 live public sources, joined on one code across 331,007 geographies from the nation to the block group, with the source and the vintage kept on every value. Run by SuperTruth. ### What is a health data clearinghouse? (https://supertruth.ai/glossary/health-data-clearing-house) SuperTruth is the clearinghouse for health data in the Visa sense, not the claims sense. Visa does not lend you money and never holds your account; it decides in the moment whether a transaction can be trusted, and it keeps the record. DTI is the authorization step, the Ledger is the clearing, and Truth Units are the settlement. ### DTI Engine (https://supertruth.ai/products/dti-engine) The Data Trust Index (DTI) is an eight-dimensional scoring framework, developed by SuperTruth Inc., that scores any record on a 0 to 100 scale; the published weights were calibrated in health. AI is only as trustworthy as the data it learns from. DTI™ solves that. The Data Trust Index™, patented and a trademark of SuperTruth Inc., measures every record across eight weighted dimensions and produces a single 0 to 100 DTI score. Proven in healthcare, it is the scoring layer underneath the entire SuperTruth platform. ### DataSpine (https://supertruth.ai/products/dataspine) DataSpine is the sourced record of every place in the United States: 804 attributes in nine categories, economics to food, from 102 live public sources, joined on one code across 331,007 geographies from the nation to the block group, with the source and the vintage kept on every value. 11,220,406 sourced data points. No person in it. Run by SuperTruth. Built for any team that pulls public figures by hand today, or takes a number from a model that cannot say where it came from. ### VIGIL (https://supertruth.ai/products/vigil) VIGIL is the independent behavioral ledger and trust gate for production AI agents. VIGIL watches what agents do to each other and to their own controls, scores it, holds what fails the gate through an authority the agents cannot reach, and keeps a hash-chained record an auditor can verify without trusting us. Every agent decision in your fleet is scored, gated, and sealed before it propagates. Patented. ### VIOLET (https://supertruth.ai/products/violet) Visual Intelligence Layer for Oncology Trends and Evidence Triangulation. VIOLET finds what patients search before they ever see a doctor, and answers with the nearest enrolling trials, the evidence behind them, and a number to call. In live pediatric clinical use today, and the map carries adult oncology too. Every measured value carries its source and its date. The same engine can be commissioned for your disease area. ### MyBio.Health (https://supertruth.ai/products/mybio-health) Patients own their health data: labs, wearables, SDOH, and genetics in one consent-first profile. The patient brings the record into the SuperTruth clearinghouse under their own consent; which rules govern it is a legal question for your counsel. ### Industries (https://supertruth.ai/industries) SuperTruth scores any record 0 to 100 with the Data Trust Index (DTI™), keeps the source and vintage on 11,220,406 figures about every US place in DataSpine (count taken 8 Sep 2026), and scores the AI agents that act on both with VIGIL. The published DTI weights were calibrated in health; the published customer proof is in diagnostics. Eight sectors below, each with what the proof is today and what it is not. ### For agents (https://supertruth.ai/for-agents) This page is written for the assistants and agents that answer questions about SuperTruth. It is a numbered list of facts SuperTruth stands behind, each with its URL, its date and its source, followed by how to cite them, what SuperTruth does not claim, and how to verify the claims without trusting this site. ### About (https://supertruth.ai/about) SuperTruth is a data truth company. Before an AI model acts on a record, a place, or another agent, we prove it. It works in three parts. DTI™ is our patented trust score: 0 to 100, across eight dimensions, on any record. DataSpine is our sourced map of every place in the U.S.: tens of millions of data points, each with its source and vintage. VIGIL scores the AI agents that use that data and locks the result in a hash-chained ledger nobody can quietly edit. We started in health because a wrong record there costs the most. The same proof works in finance, media, and anywhere you trust a machine to act. SuperTruth: Data truth is AI truth. ### What is data truth? (https://supertruth.ai/glossary/data-truth) Data truth is the state of a record that has been proved before anything acts on it: its source is documented, the consent that covers this use is verified, it is current for its purpose, and it agrees with independent sources. It is not the same as data quality. Data quality asks whether a record is complete and correctly formatted; a record can be perfectly clean and completely untrustworthy. SuperTruth, a data truth company founded in 2018 in Philadelphia, measures data truth one record at a time with the Data Trust Index (DTI): a patented score of 0 to 100 across eight dimensions, on any record, with published weights calibrated in health. ### What is AI truth? (https://supertruth.ai/glossary/ai-truth) AI truth is whether an answer from a model or an agent can be traced to a record that was true when it was used, and whether the agent behaved while producing it. It has two parts. The record part is data truth: the record was sourced, consented, current and scored before the model saw it, which SuperTruth measures with the Data Trust Index (DTI), 0 to 100 on any record. The agent part is behavior: VIGIL, run by SuperTruth, scores every agent decision on a Behavioral Integrity Index from 0.0 to 1.0, lands it in one of four gates (pass, hold, alert, collapse) before it propagates, and seals it in a hash-chained ledger nobody can quietly edit. SuperTruth's line "Data truth is AI truth" means a model or agent is only as true as the records it acts on. ### What is data provenance? (https://supertruth.ai/glossary/data-provenance) Data provenance is the documented origin and chain of custody of a record: which source produced it, under what conditions, and every hand it passed through on the way to the point of use. It is stronger than attribution and different from lineage. Lineage maps how a value moved inside your systems; provenance says whether the starting point deserves belief. In the Data Trust Index (DTI), SuperTruth's patented 0 to 100 score for any record, provenance is the heaviest of the eight dimensions at 25 percent, because a value that cannot say where it came from cannot be defended in front of a clinician, a regulator, or a court. ### How to verify a record before AI training (https://supertruth.ai/guides/verify-a-record-before-ai-training) To verify a record before it enters an AI training set, run ten checks in order: that the file arrived intact, where the record came from, whether consent covers training, how current it is for its kind, how complete it is, whether it agrees with independent sources, whether its data type is validated against outcomes, how much it covers, how stable its measurements are, and whether it clears the floor you set. Each check below is one the Data Trust Index (DTI), SuperTruth's patented 0 to 100 score, performs on every record at intake; the weights shown are the published defaults, calibrated in health. A record that fails the floor is held, not trained on. ### Who certifies data for AI? (https://supertruth.ai/guides/who-certifies-data-for-ai) As of 14 September 2026, no single body certifies data for AI. The standards and programs that come closest each certify a different thing. A data license certifies the right to use a dataset. NCQA's Data Aggregator Validation certifies a health data stream so its results count for HEDIS reporting. ISO 8000 certifies how an organization manages data quality and exchanges master data. The Data & Trust Alliance's Data Provenance Standards give a dataset labels for its source, provenance and permitted use. A per-record score, such as SuperTruth's Data Trust Index (DTI), scores one record 0 to 100 and travels with it. The table below sets them side by side by what is certified, who does it, what you receive, and what it says about a single record. ## Blog, latest 40 posts Each entry: the headline, its URL, its dates and its opening summary. The full index is https://supertruth.ai/blog; the JSON feed is https://supertruth.ai/api/blog. ### APCD data trust gaps that break state claims intelligence (https://supertruth.ai/blog/all-payer-claims-database-data-trust-what-apcd-governance-requires) published 2026-10-22. Eighteen states operate all-payer claims databases, but most lack enforceable data trust standards for the submissions they collect. Without provenance scoring, consent governance, and recency enforcement, APCD data quality degrades before analysts ever query it. ### NHANES data quality gaps that break nutrition policy (https://supertruth.ai/blog/cdc-nhanes-data-quality-what-national-nutrition-surveillance-requires) published 2026-10-20. NHANES response rates dropped from 78% in 1999 to 43% in the pandemic cycle, and the survey still cannot capture real-time dietary intake for over 70% of its target nutrients. National nutrition policy built on this data inherits every gap the survey carries. ### Actuary-grade data trust for mental health parity (https://supertruth.ai/blog/mental-health-parity-compliance-data-what-actuary-grade-data-trust-requires) published 2026-10-15. The 2024 MHPAEA final rule requires health plans to prove parity through data, not assertions. Most plans lack the data quality infrastructure to pass an actuary-grade comparative analysis. Here is what parity compliance data trust actually requires across network adequacy, NQTL design, and claims adjudication. ### Trusting health data in space does not need a giant AI model (https://supertruth.ai/blog/trusting-health-data-far-from-earth-needs-no-frontier-model) published 2026-10-15, revised 2026-10-16. On the way to Mars, a message to Earth can take 22 minutes to arrive, and the reply takes just as long. The crew has to decide on its own whether health data can be trusted, and our September 2026 study found that job needs neither a giant AI model nor a data center. ### PDMP data quality gaps that break opioid AI safety tools (https://supertruth.ai/blog/opioid-prescribing-data-trust-what-pdmp-data-quality-means-for-ai-safety-tools) published 2026-10-13, revised 2026-10-15. Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs report data to 49 states, but latency, format mismatches, and missing dispensation records undermine every AI safety tool that relies on them. Without trust scoring at the record level, opioid prescribing algorithms inherit the errors PDMP databases have carried for years. ### Co-located BHI fails without shared data trust (https://supertruth.ai/blog/behavioral-health-integration-data-quality-what-co-located-primary-care-requires) published 2026-10-08, revised 2026-10-15. Co-located behavioral health integration fails when PHQ-9 scores, substance use disorder records, and psychiatric diagnoses live in separate EHR instances with no shared identifier. Fewer than half of integrated primary care sites achieve reliable data exchange between behavioral health and medical records, and the downstream cost hits quality measurement, reimbursement, and patient safety. ### Safety net hospitals lose DSH funding to bad data (https://supertruth.ai/blog/safety-net-hospital-data-quality-what-disproportionate-share-reporting-needs) published 2026-10-06, revised 2026-10-15. Safety net hospitals lose an estimated $5.7 billion annually in disproportionate share hospital payments they cannot fully justify because the underlying data fails on provenance, recency, and concordance. The Medicaid fraction and low-income utilization rate calculations that drive DSH allotments depend on data elements that are systematically incomplete at the institutions that need the funding most. ### FQHC data trust gaps that break HRSA UDS reporting (https://supertruth.ai/blog/federally-qualified-health-center-data-trust-what-hrsa-requires-for-uds) published 2026-10-01, revised 2026-10-15. HRSA requires 1,400+ health centers to submit Uniform Data System reports annually, covering clinical quality, demographics, financial performance, and social determinants. Each UDS table depends on data integrity standards that most EHR systems do not enforce natively, creating a trust gap between what gets reported and what actually happened at the point of care. ### Rural health reporting fails without CAH data fixes (https://supertruth.ai/blog/critical-access-hospital-data-quality-what-rural-health-reporting-requires) published 2026-09-29, revised 2026-10-15. There are 1,363 critical access hospitals in the United States, and the data they report carries structural problems that most quality frameworks ignore. Small denominators, legacy EHR systems, and staffing gaps make CAH data fundamentally different from urban hospital data. Using it without adjustment produces misleading benchmarks, flawed AI models, and policy decisions that accelerate the closures they claim to prevent. ### Rural hospital closure data is too broken to guide policy (https://supertruth.ai/blog/rural-hospital-closure-data-what-community-health-impact-intelligence-requires) published 2026-09-24, revised 2026-10-15. Since 2010, more than 150 rural hospitals have closed across the United States, and over 700 more face financial risk. The data systems meant to track their community health impact are fragmented, stale, and missing the dimensions that matter most for intervention planning. ### Cross-sector data trust for housing-health integration (https://supertruth.ai/blog/housing-health-data-integration-what-cross-sector-data-trust-requires) published 2026-09-22, revised 2026-10-15. Housing and health data sit in separate systems governed by separate laws, creating a trust gap that no data-sharing agreement alone can close. Cross-sector integration requires scoring every record for provenance, consent, and recency before it enters a model. Without that foundation, social determinants housing intelligence remains unreliable. ### A fruit fly's brain beat Claude, GPT-5, Grok and Gemini at judging health records (https://supertruth.ai/blog/fruit-fly-brain-beat-four-ai-models-at-judging-health-records) published 2026-09-20, revised 2026-09-22. This is not a stunt with a fly. It is a test of what intelligence is made of, and what happens when you hand any kind of intelligence bad data. We ran medical records through a fruit fly's brain and through four big AI models. Nature won. Here is why that matters for anyone whose health depends on a record being right. ### Food as medicine program data quality: what nutrition intervention tracking needs (https://supertruth.ai/blog/food-as-medicine-program-data-quality-what-nutrition-intervention-tracking-needs) published 2026-09-19, revised 2026-10-15. Food as medicine programs generate data across clinical encounters, community-based organizations, and grocery delivery platforms, but fewer than 20% of programs track outcomes with structured, linkable data. Without trust scoring on nutrition intervention records, the field cannot prove what works, for whom, or at what dose. ### SDOH screening program data quality: Z-code capture rates and what they mean (https://supertruth.ai/blog/sdoh-screening-program-data-quality-z-code-capture-rates-and-what-they-mean) published 2026-09-18, revised 2026-10-15. SDOH Z-code capture rates sit between 1% and 2.4% of claims nationally, despite screening programs running in thousands of facilities. The gap between screening a patient and producing a coded, trustable record is where most SDOH data programs fail. Understanding what Z-code capture rates actually measure, and what they miss, is the first step toward building social determinants intelligence that AI systems can act on. ### Why 30% of care outreach misses: targeting data failures (https://supertruth.ai/blog/care-management-outreach-data-trust-what-population-health-targeting-requires) published 2026-09-18, revised 2026-10-15. Care management outreach fails when the targeting data is wrong. Roughly 30% of outreach attempts never reach the intended patient due to stale contact information, misattributed risk scores, and incomplete social determinant records. Population health targeting requires data trust infrastructure that most health plans and systems do not yet have. ### Discharge planning data quality: what care transition intelligence requires (https://supertruth.ai/blog/discharge-planning-data-quality-what-care-transition-intelligence-requires) published 2026-09-18, revised 2026-10-15. Nearly one in five hospital discharges results in an adverse event within 30 days, and the root cause is rarely clinical. It is data: missing medication lists, stale provider directories, unverified post-acute capacity, and consent records that never followed the patient. Discharge planning data quality determines whether care transition intelligence works or fails silently. ### Utilization management data integrity: what concurrent review data needs (https://supertruth.ai/blog/utilization-management-data-integrity-what-concurrent-review-data-needs) published 2026-09-17, revised 2026-10-15. Concurrent review decisions depend on data that changes hour by hour, yet most utilization management systems treat clinical records as static inputs. When 30% of UM denials trace back to incomplete or stale data rather than clinical judgment, the integrity of the underlying record becomes the central problem. This post maps what concurrent review data actually requires across provenance, recency, and concordance. ### Prior authorization automation data quality: what AI approvals require (https://supertruth.ai/blog/prior-authorization-automation-data-quality-what-ai-approvals-require) published 2026-09-16, revised 2026-10-15. Prior authorization AI systems approve or deny care based on data they never verified. When 50% of provider directories contain errors and claims data lags 30 to 90 days, automation without data quality controls produces automated harm. The question is not whether AI can do prior auths. The question is whether the data feeding those decisions meets a minimum trust threshold. ### Provider directory accuracy: the 50 percent error rate problem in health plan data (https://supertruth.ai/blog/provider-directory-accuracy-the-50-percent-error-rate-problem-in-health-plan) published 2026-09-15, revised 2026-10-15. CMS audits consistently find error rates approaching 50 percent in Medicare Advantage provider directories. That means half the records a member sees when searching for a doctor may list the wrong phone number, wrong address, or wrong acceptance status. The problem is not a technology gap. It is a data trust gap, and fixing it requires scoring every provider record before it reaches a directory. ### Credentialing data integrity: what the CAQH database gets wrong about providers (https://supertruth.ai/blog/credentialing-data-integrity-what-the-caqh-database-gets-wrong-about-providers) published 2026-09-14, revised 2026-10-15. CAQH holds credentialing data on more than 1.6 million providers, yet health plans routinely find that profiles are incomplete, outdated, or contradicted by primary sources. The database was designed to reduce paperwork, not to guarantee data integrity. That gap costs the credentialing system billions in rework, delays, and downstream errors. ### Onboarding Studio: what a zero-copy health data intake actually looks like (https://supertruth.ai/blog/onboarding-studio-what-a-zero-copy-health-data-intake-actually-looks-like) published 2026-09-13, revised 2026-10-15. Most health data onboarding pipelines copy records into a new environment before scoring them. Onboarding Studio does not. It scores, validates, and governs data at the source, producing a DTI trust score and a hash-chained receipt without ever moving the underlying record. That distinction determines whether your AI pipeline meets regulatory scrutiny or fails it. ### Explainable data provenance: why health AI has to show where every record came from (https://supertruth.ai/blog/explainable-data-provenance-why-health-ai-has-to-show-where-every-record-came-fr) published 2026-09-12, revised 2026-10-15. Health AI systems that cannot trace every record back to its origin are making clinical decisions on faith. Explainable data provenance assigns a verifiable chain of custody to each data point before it enters a model, and the 25% weight provenance carries in the DTI framework reflects its foundational role. Without it, explainability stops at the model and never reaches the data. ### Hospital Compare data quality: what public reporting gets wrong about outcomes (https://supertruth.ai/blog/hospital-compare-data-quality-what-public-reporting-gets-wrong-about-outcomes) published 2026-09-11, revised 2026-10-15. Hospital Compare publishes quality data on over 4,000 hospitals, but the underlying data suffers from coding inconsistencies, risk adjustment gaps, and reporting lags that distort the outcomes consumers see. CMS public reporting data trust depends on layers of transformation that few users understand, and fewer question. ### HEDIS measure data quality: what NCQA requires for star rating accuracy (https://supertruth.ai/blog/hedis-measure-data-quality-what-ncqa-requires-for-star-rating-accuracy) published 2026-09-10, revised 2026-10-15. NCQA requires health plans to meet strict data quality thresholds across HEDIS measures before star ratings are calculated. A single missed mammogram record or misaligned value set can drop a plan's rating by half a star, costing millions in Quality Bonus Payments. The gap between collecting data and trusting data is where most health plans fail. ### Medicaid managed care data trust: what state reporting requirements demand (https://supertruth.ai/blog/medicaid-managed-care-data-trust-what-state-reporting-requirements-demand) published 2026-09-09, revised 2026-10-15. Forty-two states now contract with managed care organizations to administer Medicaid benefits, and every one of those states imposes reporting requirements that assume the underlying data is trustworthy. Most MCO data fails that assumption before it reaches CMS. State Medicaid reporting requirements create a compliance surface that cannot be satisfied by volume alone; MCO data quality depends on provenance, recency, and validation that most plans never measure. ### Medicare Advantage risk adjustment data integrity: what upcoding means for AI (https://supertruth.ai/blog/medicare-advantage-risk-adjustment-data-integrity-what-upcoding-means-for-ai) published 2026-09-08, revised 2026-10-15. Medicare Advantage plans receive an estimated $12-25 billion annually in excess payments tied to risk adjustment coding practices that inflate patient severity. When AI systems train on this data, they inherit the financial incentives baked into every diagnosis code, producing models that confuse billing optimization with clinical reality. ### ACO REACH data quality requirements and trust infrastructure needs (https://supertruth.ai/blog/aco-reach-data-quality-requirements-and-trust-infrastructure-needs) published 2026-09-07, revised 2026-10-15. ACO REACH participants must report on 3 quality measures and satisfy CMS data submission requirements across claims, clinical, and beneficiary-level records. But meeting minimum reporting thresholds is not the same as having trustworthy data. Without a trust infrastructure that scores every record for provenance, recency, and completeness, REACH model participants are building risk-bearing contracts on data they cannot verify. ### CMS Innovation Center value-based model data requirements (https://supertruth.ai/blog/cms-innovation-center-value-based-model-data-requirements) published 2026-09-06, revised 2026-10-15. The CMS Innovation Center has launched over 50 value-based care models since 2010, and every one of them requires participating organizations to submit clinical, financial, and operational data that meets specific quality thresholds. Most participants underestimate what those data requirements actually demand, and the gap between what CMMI expects and what health systems can deliver is where model performance collapses. ### CommonWell and Carequality: why health data networks have not solved trust (https://supertruth.ai/blog/commonwell-and-carequality-why-health-data-networks-have-not-solved-trust) published 2026-09-05, revised 2026-10-15. CommonWell Health Alliance and Carequality connect thousands of healthcare organizations, but connectivity is not trust. These networks solve the transport problem while leaving data quality, provenance, and consent governance entirely unaddressed, which means the health data flowing through them remains unscored and unverified. ### Epic vs Oracle Health: what the EHR duopoly means for health data trust (https://supertruth.ai/blog/epic-vs-oracle-health-what-the-ehr-duopoly-means-for-health-data-trust) published 2026-09-04, revised 2026-10-15. Epic and Oracle Health now control over 75% of U.S. hospital EHR installations, creating a duopoly where health data quality and trust standards are set by two vendors with fundamentally different architectures and business models. The concentration of clinical data in two proprietary systems does not guarantee that the data inside them is trustworthy, complete, or ready for AI. ### Optum data assets and the trust question for competing health systems (https://supertruth.ai/blog/optum-data-assets-and-the-trust-question-for-competing-health-systems) published 2026-09-03, revised 2026-10-15. Optum controls claims, pharmacy, clinical, and behavioral data on more than 150 million lives. Health systems that send data into Optum's platforms are training the analytics tools of a company that competes with them for patients, contracts, and market share. The trust question is not hypothetical. It is structural. ### CVS Health and Aetna data integration: what vertical integration means for data trust (https://supertruth.ai/blog/cvs-health-and-aetna-data-integration-what-vertical-integration-means-for-data-t) published 2026-09-02, revised 2026-10-15. CVS Health's acquisition of Aetna created the largest vertically integrated health company in the United States, merging pharmacy, insurance, and clinic data under one roof. That integration concentrated more patient data in a single corporate entity than any previous transaction in healthcare history. The data trust implications are structural, not theoretical. ### Temporal consistency in longitudinal health data: what data trust requires across time (https://supertruth.ai/blog/temporal-consistency-in-longitudinal-health-data-what-data-trust-requires-across) published 2026-09-01, revised 2026-10-15. A patient's health record collected over 10 years is only as trustworthy as the consistency of its measurements across time. Temporal consistency failures in longitudinal health data silently corrupt AI models, producing predictions built on contradictions that no cross-sectional audit can detect. Scoring data trust across time requires explicit evaluation of measurement drift, gap patterns, and chronological coherence. ### Health data completeness scoring: what missing fields cost AI model performance (https://supertruth.ai/blog/health-data-completeness-scoring-what-missing-fields-cost-ai-model-performance) published 2026-08-31, revised 2026-10-15. A missing BMI field drops sepsis prediction AUC by up to 0.09. A missing race field can shift readmission risk scores by 12%. Health data completeness scoring quantifies these losses before they reach a model, turning invisible gaps into measurable costs that determine whether clinical AI performs or fails. ### Radiogenomics data trust: linking imaging phenotypes to genomic alterations (https://supertruth.ai/blog/radiogenomics-data-trust-linking-imaging-phenotypes-to-genomic-alterations) published 2026-08-30, revised 2026-10-15. Radiogenomics links imaging phenotypes to genomic alterations, but the data pipeline connecting DICOM files to sequencing results has no standard trust framework. Without scored provenance, temporal alignment, and consent governance across both modalities, radiogenomics AI models inherit compounded errors from two of the most complex data types in medicine. ### SMART on FHIR and the data trust surface area for third-party app access (https://supertruth.ai/blog/smart-on-fhir-and-the-data-trust-surface-area-for-third-party-app-access) published 2026-08-29, revised 2026-10-15. SMART on FHIR enables third-party apps to access patient data through standardized authorization. But the protocol says nothing about the quality, provenance, or consent integrity of the data it exposes. That gap is the data trust surface area most health systems never measure. ### The CCD document quality problem: hidden trust failures in care summary exchange (https://supertruth.ai/blog/the-ccd-document-quality-problem-hidden-trust-failures-in-care-summary-exchange) published 2026-08-28, revised 2026-10-15. Most Continuity of Care Documents exchanged between health systems contain structural defects that silently degrade clinical decision-making. Missing medication lists, outdated allergy records, and unmapped terminology codes pass through health information exchanges without any trust validation. The CCD document quality problem is not a format problem; it is a data trust failure hiding in plain sight. ### Trauma history data: the most sensitive SDOH dimension and its consent requirements (https://supertruth.ai/blog/trauma-history-data-the-most-sensitive-sdoh-dimension-and-its-consent-requiremen) published 2026-08-27, revised 2026-10-15. Adverse childhood experiences data is the most sensitive dimension of social determinants of health, yet most health AI systems treat it with the same consent architecture as food insecurity screening. ACE data consent requires trauma-informed protocols, granular disclosure controls, and trust scoring that reflects the unique re-traumatization risk embedded in every query. Without these safeguards, trauma history data becomes a liability that harms the people it was collected to help. ### Interpreter services data quality: what language concordance means for health AI (https://supertruth.ai/blog/interpreter-services-data-quality-what-language-concordance-means-for-health-ai) published 2026-08-26, revised 2026-10-15. Over 25 million people in the United States have limited English proficiency, and their health records carry systematic data quality problems that most AI systems never detect. Language concordance between patient and clinician directly shapes the accuracy, completeness, and clinical relevance of every data point recorded during a healthcare encounter. Without scoring for this concordance dimension, health AI models trained on LEP patient data inherit silent distortions that compound across populations. ### Cost-effectiveness analysis data trust: what health economics models need (https://supertruth.ai/blog/cost-effectiveness-analysis-data-trust-what-health-economics-models-need) published 2026-08-23, revised 2026-10-15. Cost-effectiveness analysis models in healthcare depend on data inputs that most organizations never verify. QALY calculations, transition probabilities, and utility weights all carry embedded assumptions about data quality, yet fewer than 15% of published CEA models report data provenance. Without a trust layer beneath the inputs, the outputs are economic fiction.
