Enabling predictive healthcare analytics through better workflows

摘要

The shift to value-based care and the establishment of machine learning in support of data analysis is transforming healthcare. We may only be at the start of this journey, but a foundation is being set for predictive healthcare analytics in health systems that will allow physicians and care teams, hospitals, and health plans to mine diverse sets of data to identify patterns in support of advancing improved medical decisions. A recent survey of healthcare organization executives by Deloitte found that 94% are moving toward value-based care. While only 27% of this group have completed pilots or rolled out technology, the intent is clearly there ... and so are the incentives. Quality data reporting provisions of the 2015 Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MA-CRA) will base reimbursement on how well physicians and care teams access, share, and use data to improve the quality of care they provide.
