American Marconi Wireless News - ZeOmega Earns Artificial Intelligence Accreditation from DirectTrust(R)

PLANO, TX / ACCESS Newswire / July 16, 2026 / ZeOmega, the industry's leading population health management organization, announced today that it has earned Artificial Intelligence (AI) Accreditation from DirectTrust^®. This accreditation recognizes ZeOmega's commitment to implementing responsible, standards-based artificial intelligence practices aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF). Through a robust third-party review, DirectTrust evaluated ZeOmega's AI governance structure, risk management processes, performance evaluation methods, and ability to ensure transparency, accountability, and ongoing oversight of AI systems.

DirectTrust's AI Accreditation introduces a formal two-level structure: Foundational and Comprehensive.

ZeOmega has demonstrated it meets the Foundational level through the implementation of responsible AI governance and mapping practices. This represents meaningful progress toward the more advanced Comprehensive level, where managed and measured controls are fully established.

The thorough accreditation process demonstrates compliance and adherence to strict standards including criteria related to AI governance, system mapping, risk measurement, and ongoing management of AI technologies across the organization. The program is designed to support organizations at varying stages of AI maturity, ensuring responsible development, deployment, and monitoring of AI systems in healthcare and other sensitive data environments.

"By achieving Artificial Intelligence Accreditation from DirectTrust, ZeOmega has demonstrated its commitment to responsible AI development and deployment, grounded in strong governance and risk management practices," said Scott Stuewe, President and CEO, DirectTrust. "As AI adoption accelerates across healthcare, this accreditation provides assurance to stakeholders that ZeOmega is actively managing risk, ensuring transparency, and maintaining the integrity of its AI-driven systems and data."

For risk-bearing healthcare organizations, managing care across utilization, risk adjustment, prior authorization, member engagement, SDOH, and quality improvement demands both intelligence and precision. ZeOmega's Jiva Healthcare Enterprise Management Platform delivers on both, combining robust data analytics and automation with AI and ML capabilities to drive the insights and efficiencies that improve care outcomes and meet the industry's most rigorous standards.

"As AI becomes central to how health plans manage populations and serve members, the organizations we partner with need to know our systems are built on a foundation they can rely on," said Shaun Newton, Chief Security and Compliance Officer, ZeOmega. "We are among the first in the country to receive DirectTrust AI accreditation, which gives our clients exactly that assurance - an independent validation that our AI-driven capabilities meet rigorous standards for security, integrity, and responsible use. In a rapidly evolving landscape, that kind of third-party credibility isn't just a differentiator. It's a commitment."

DirectTrust's accreditation and certification programs are governed by the organization's Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC).
