Knowledge Drives Precision
In recent years, dramatic advances in molecular biology, genomics, and related technologies have resulted in greater understanding of cancer at the molecular level. It is now possible not only to identify the genetic and molecular variations in each patient’s cancer cells, but to apply the results from the tumor profile, in some circumstances, to begin […]
Patients Shopping for Quality and Value
Data from a recent study by the Employee Benefit Research Institute shows that individuals enrolled in high-deductible health plans are more likely to behave like consumers and seek data on price and quality before receiving care.1 This, combined with the effects of the Affordable Care Act, where trends are reflecting that more than 80% of […]

Following the Money Trail: Understanding the True Cost of Care
Healthcare leaders are challenged to understand the true costs associated with providing care.

Assembling this data requires a robust technical architecture that easily stores the data relationships with contextual integrity along with the ability to resolve patient or person identity. Once the data is assembled, leaders of the organization […]
In Managing Finance at Hospitals, the Proof is in the Data
Assembling data is both a technical and political challenge. I’ve been involved with multiple hospitals where the finance and clinical teams never really collaborate and therefore the lenses put on either domain is not terribly realistic.

Enterprise Warehouses: The gift that keeps on giving
I read a blog post recently with references to Oracle’s Marc Perlman @marcdperlman speaking about how Healthcare entities are nearing the timeframe where they can reap the benefits of implementing electronic health records. To quote Marc, “As healthcare providers look to establish enterprise data warehouses, they should begin with a specific project that hinges on […]
