“The stars at night are big and bright (and as plentiful as your data sources).  Get them to align!”

Summary: 

The President and CEO of HIMSS North America, Hal Wolf, recently shared his thoughts on the importance and challenges of taking ever increasing mountains of data and turning it first into information and then actionable intelligence across the healthcare delivery continuum. Machine Learning, AI, NLP and IoT are all hot topics in healthcare analytics.  These technologies have their place, but where do they fit in solving the “data rich/information poor” dilemma in which many of us are stuck?  

The challenge for healthcare organizations, post EHR implementation, is constructing the data strategy necessary to move into the world of sustainable, value based care.  Aligning resources across all departments to this strategy can enable any provider or health plan to become data driven without adding FTEs.  This is essential to achieving the quadruple aim while preparing for a consumer driven market in modern healthcare.
