TREND #9: DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A STRONG GOVERNANCE STRATEGY AND ORGANIZATION Data governance is the overall management of enterprise data. It encompasses the people, processes, and information technology required to consistently ensure data value, quality and integrity, improvement, development, and maintenance.

TREND #8: INCREASE LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING AND CONTROL OVER ACO DATA AND ANALYTICS Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) spend a good amount of time discussing which technology systems to use, but very little time on determining who owns the data. ACOs have multiple stakeholders including partners in the ACO, patients, and insurers. Each of these stakeholders […]

Unfortunately, data is not helpful unless it can be transformed into timely and actionable insights that impact performance throughout the organization.

However, our perspective across that continuum has changed considerably due in large part to the enhanced view enabled by healthcare analytics. Historically, healthcare analytics has been used to manage […]

INTEGRATE CLINICAL AND CLAIMS DATA TO ENABLE POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT INSIGHT Technology-enabled population health initiatives have traditionally relied solely on either clinical data or claims data. While this method has value, there is a tremendous opportunity for healthcare organizations to take population health efforts to the next level by integrating both clinical and claims data. […]
