But over three years, someone always asks, "Can we just add one more measure?" Suddenly, you are tracking 120 discrete data points for a single patient cohort. When every metric is a priority, none are. The bloat comes from measuring things that are easy to track (data availability) rather than things that change outcomes (clinical relevance).

If your DSRIP data pipeline is bloated, you are spending millions of dollars to tell the state that you are "trying" rather than actually improving care. Trim the fat. Focus on the five metrics that actually drive a reduction in avoidable hospitalizations.

But recently, a new term has crept into the lexicon of Medicaid transformation:
