• Understanding and Using Data in Value-Based Care

Speaker: LuAnn Kimker, VP, Clinical Innovation (Azara Healthcare)

The current healthcare landscape generates more data than ever before from a variety of sources: EHR clinical information, HIE transitions of care events, payer claims, rosters, care gap files, wearables, etc. Combining this information into one platform gives users a richer picture of their population’s cost and care metrics; the US healthcare system, however, allows for such a diversity of information formats and sharing norms that even when it is all in one place it can be challenging to interpret and use that data. IPHCA has been setting the foundation for a population health strategy that supports the transition to value-based care that considers all available data, the strengths of each set, and how to bring them together (including deciding not to). In this session we will explore what the leadership team needs to know about how Azara Healthcare analyzes different types of information and some of the tools, tricks, and pitfalls we have learned from hundreds of integrations across the country. Through sharing examples of how to focus efforts depending on different data combinations, attendees will gain a better understanding of how to close care gaps, identify and manage the highest cost patients, and coordinate care.
