Solution Briefs
This industry solution brief shares key insights on how healthcare organizations can drive innovation with trusted data, speed data discovery, improve data literacy and data integrity at scale across care delivery and insurance operations.
Below is an excerpt from the brief. To read the full brief, [click here]
Payers and providers operate in a highly complex data landscape with petabytes of data residing in hundreds of disparate data sources including databases, data warehouses, enterprise applications, Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, and more.
In this type of environment, it is very dicult for data citizens – including chief data ocers, clinical researchers, data scientists, data governance leads, data engineers and data consumers – to easily find or understand the data they need. Users are unable to ascertain if the data comes from a trustworthy source and whether it is certified for use. They are unable to obtain detailed information about the data such as its attributes, where did it originate from, who owns the data and whether it is of high or poor quality.
Since healthcare organizations operate in a highly regulated industry, data integrity issues coupled with a lack of data governance, transparency and traceability of data can elevate both operational and regulatory non-compliance risks. For instance, it is predicted that nearly 30% of healthcare costs can be attributed to poor quality data. Its impact can be moderate to severe resulting in ineciencies, delays, inaccurate diagnoses, claims and billing errors, and more.
