13 May First We Fix The Data, Then We Make It Work For Us
By Michael Barbouche, Founder/CEO of ForwardHealth Group, Inc.
The healthcare industry amasses a tremendous amount of clinical data from which it gets far less value than it should. One issue is the lack of consistent, or perhaps I should say persistent, data stewardship with many errors and omissions negatively impacting clinicians. A second issue is a failure to put clinical data to work in meaningful ways, including the identification of trends and patterns (your most at-risk patients), or — at a much higher system level — reducing network leakage and creating effective measurement initiatives. Addressing these issues will be essential to achieving meaningful progress toward healthcare industry goals — and it’s really not as difficult as it seems.
