How HealthStream CVO scores

Documented capability score PSV · Recredentialing scope documented 7/12 capabilities reviewed · 5 unverified · Rubric v1.1 4 fully supported · 3 partly supported · 0 documented as unsupported

A numeric capability score needs at least 8 capabilities with sources, including PSV, enrollment, recredentialing and expiration tracking. Core capabilities still unverified: Payer enrollment automation.

48/77 relative capability weight reviewed. Scores with different coverage are not directly comparable. Read the score with its coverage: 100 means full support within the reviewed scope, not that every capability is supported. Unverified capabilities are excluded, not counted as zero.
