Data and Technology What are we measuring? What are our goals? Organization and Culture How will we achieve them? © 2013 Health Catalyst www.healthcatalyst.com Binding Data to Create Information Atomic data must be “bound” to business rules about that data and to vocabularies related to that data in order to create information Vocabulary binding in healthcare is pretty obvious ● ● ● ● Unique patient and provider identifiers Standard facility, department, and revenue center codes Standard definitions for gender, race, ethnicity ICD, CPT, SNOMED, LOINC, RxNorm, RADLEX, etc. Examples of binding data to business rules ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Length of stay Patient relationship attribution to a provider Revenue (or expense) allocation and projections to a department Revenue (or expense) allocation and projections to a physician Data definitions of general disease states and patient registries Patient exclusion criteria from disease/population management Patient admission/discharge/transfer rules 5 © 2013 Health Catalyst www.healthcatalyst.com Data Binding Software Programming Pieces of meaningless data 115 60 Vocabulary Binds data to “systolic & diastolic blood pressure” Rules “normal” © 2013 Health Catalyst www.healthcatalyst.com Why Is This Concept Important? Knowing when to bind data, and how tightly, to vocabularies and rules is THE KEY to analytic success and agility Comprehensive Agreement Is the rule or vocabulary widely accepted as true and accurate in the organization or industry? Persistent Agreement Is the rule or vocabulary stable and rarely change?

Customizing patient care based on population outcomes. Level 7 Cost per Capita Reimbursement & Predictive Analytics Diagnosis-based financial reimbursement, managing risk proactively, measuring true outcomes Level 6 Cost per Case Reimbursement & The Triple Aim Procedure-based financial risk and applying “closed loop” analytics at the point of care Level 5 Clinical Effectiveness & Population Management Measuring & managing evidence based care Level 4 Automated External Reporting Efficient, consistent production; agility, and governance Level 3 Automated Internal Reporting Efficient, consistent production; widespread access to KPIs Level 2 Standardized Vocabulary & Patient Registries Relating and organizing the core data Level 1 Integrated, Enterprise Data Warehouse Foundation of data and technology Level 0 Fragmented Point Solutions Inefficient, inconsistent versions of the truth © 2013 Health Catalyst www.healthcatalyst.com Healthcare Analytic Adoption Model Level 8 Cost per Unit of Health Reimbursement & Prescriptive Analytics: Providers Analytic motive expands to wellness management and mass customization of care. Physicians, hospitals, employers, payers and members/patients collaborate to share risk and reward (e.g., financial reward to patients for healthy behavior). Analytics expands to include NLP of text, prescriptive analytics,©and interventional decision support. Prescriptive analytics are available at the point of care to improve patient specific outcomes based upon population outcomes. Data content expands to include genomic and familial information. The EDW is updated within a few minutes of changes in the source systems. Level 7 Cost per Capita Reimbursement & Predictive Analytics: Analytic motive expands to address diagnosis-based, fixed-fee per capita reimbursement models. Focus expands from management of cases to collaboration with clinician and payer partners to manage episodes of care, using predictive modeling, forecasting, and risk stratification to support outreach, triage, escalation and referrals. Patients are flagged in registries who are unable or will not participate in care protocols. Data content expands to include external pharmacy data and protocol-specific patient reported outcomes. On average, the EDW is updated within one hour or less of source system changes. Level 6 Cost per Case Reimbursement & The Triple Aim: The “accountable care organization” shares in the financial risk and reward that is tied to clinical outcomes. At least 50% of acute care cases are managed under bundled payments. Analytics are available at the point of care to support the Triple Aim of maximizing the quality of individual patient care, population management, and the economics of care. Data content expands to include bedside devices and detailed activity based costing. Data governance plays a major role in the accuracy of metrics supporting quality-based compensation plans for clinicians and executives. On average, the EDW is updated within one day of source system changes. The EDW reports organizationally to a C-level executive who is accountable for balancing cost of care and quality of care. Level 5 Clinical Effectiveness & Population Management: Analytic motive is focused on measuring clinical effectiveness that maximizes quality and minimizes waste and variability. Data governance expands to support care management teams that are focused on improving the health of patient populations. Permanent multidisciplinary teams are in-place that continuously monitor opportunities to improve quality, and reduce risk and cost, across acute care processes, chronic diseases, patient safety scenarios, and internal workflows. Precision of registries is improved by including data from lab, pharmacy, and clinical observations in the definition of the patient cohorts. EDW content is organized into evidence-based, standardized data marts that combine clinical and cost data associated with patient registries. Data content expands to include insurance claims. On average, the EDW is updated within one week of source system changes. Level 4 Automated External Reporting: Analytic motive is focused on consistent, efficient production of reports required for regulatory and accreditation requirements (e.g. CMS, Joint Commission, tumor registry, communicable diseases); payer incentives (e.g. MU, PQRS, VBP, readmission reduction); and specialty society databases (e.g. STS,NRMI, Vermont-Oxford). Adherence to industry-standard vocabularies is required. Clinical text data content is available for simple key word searches. Centralized data governance exists for review and approval of externally released data. Level 3 Automated Internal Reporting: Analytic motive is focused on consistent, efficient production of reports supporting basic management and operation of the healthcare organization. Key performance indicators are easily accessible from the executive level to the front-line manager. Corporate and business unit data analysts meet regularly to collaborate and steer the EDW. Data governance expands to raise the data literacy of the organization and develop a data acquisition strategy for Levels 4 and above. Level 2 Standardized Vocabulary & Patient Registries: Master vocabulary and reference data identified and standardized across disparate source system content in the data warehouse. Naming, definition, and data types are consistent with local standards. Patient registries are defined solely on ICD billing data. Data governance forms around the definition and evolution of patient registries and master data management. Level 1 Integrated, Enterprise Data Warehouse: At a minimum, the following data are co-located in a single data warehouse, locally or hosted: HIMSS EMR Stage 3 data, Revenue Cycle, Financial, Costing, Supply Chain, and Patient Experience. Searchable metadata repository is available across the enterprise. Data content includes insurance claims, if possible. Data warehouse is updated within one month of changes in the source system. Data governance is forming around the data quality of source systems. The EDW reports organizationally to the CIO. Level 0 Fragmented Point Solutions: Vendor-based and internally developed applications are used to address specific analytic needs as they arise. The fragmented Point Solutions are neither co-located in a data warehouse nor otherwise architecturally integrated with one another. Overlapping data content leads to multiple versions of analytic truth. Reports are labor intensive and inconsistent. Data governance is non-existent. 2-4 YEARS 1-2 YEARS NOW The ACO Data Acquisition Checklist 1 Billing data 2 Lab data 3 Imaging data 4 Inpatient EMR data 5 Outpatient EMR data 6 Claims Data 7 HIE Data 8 Detailed cost accounting 9 Bedside monitoring data 10 External pharmacy data 11 Familial data 12 Home monitoring data 13 Patient reported outcomes data 14 Long term care facility data 15 Genomic data 16 Real-time 7x24 biometric monitoring for all patients in the ACO 14 © 2013 Health Catalyst www.healthcatalyst.com Evaluating Options © 2013 Health Catalyst www.healthcatalyst.com © 2013 Health Catalyst 15 www.healthcatalyst.com Strategy and Analytic Options Strategy Option Pros & Cons Example Vendors Buy & Build from an Analytics Platform Vendor Highest degree of analytic flexibility and adaptability Requires a data driven culture with high aspirations that views analytics as a clear business differentiator Best suited for a culture with a higher degree of data literacy and data management skills Slow initial time-to-value plagues some vendors Inconsistent ROI track record, but when ROI occurs, it’s big Caradigm Intelligence Platform Healthcare Data Works IBM Healthcare Data Model Oracle Healthcare Data Model Recombinant (Deloitte) Buy from an Analytics Service Provider Best suited for cultures that want to avoid the details of analytics and data management, but aspire to improve basic internal and external reporting Inter-organizational benchmarking and comparative analytics is a natural part of the business model and service Limited analytic flexibility and adaptability Substantive ROI is not well-documented nor widely acknowledged Explorys Humedica Lumeris Premier Alliance Truven Analytics Suite Buy “Best of Breed” Point Solutions Leverages expertise and very specific analytics applications in business and clinical areas that are not always available in other options Does not facilitate data integration; i.e., does not provide a single analytic perspective on patient care and costs Costly and complicated to maintain AltaSoft Crimson Suite EPSI MedeAnalytics Medventive Midas Omincell Buy from your EMR Vendor Offers the possibility of “closed loop analytics” driving analytics back to the point of care, in the EMR and clinical workflow No proven track record with analytics to date from the EMR vendors Tend to be very focused on analytics that are specific to the EMR vendor’s data Less flexible and adaptable to new sources of data and analytic use cases, especially complex ones Allscripts Sunrise Cerner PowerInsight Epic Clarity & Cogito McKesson Horizon Meditech Data Repository Siemens Decision Support 16 Health Catalyst Population Health Management A Checklist for Requirements and Functionality 1.
