You want to identify and eliminate those problems and inefficiencies that keep you from improving quality and lowering cost.

Finding a sustainable approach to using analytics without problems and further waste can be a challenge, it is possible to avoid these concerns if you better understand how to choose a good analytics solution.

systems deploy one or more best-of-breed or point solutions.
These applications focus on a single goal and a single slicing of the data. They offer little insight outside the specific area of focus.

step towards data-driven care, an EHR system alone is insufficient to enable an enterprise-wide, consistent data view from multiple sources.
Clinical, financial, patient satisfaction, and administrative data must become a single source of truth to truly harness the analytic power of the data.

limited analytics capabilities because they can only deliver little sources of truth from the different system siloes.
For example, when the ADT (admission, discharge, transfer) data lives in the EMR, analyzing associated costs and quality impacts are extremely inefficient.

actionable clinical, financial, and operational insights that meet your needs across the enterprise, an enterprise data warehouse (EDW) is the best solution we’ve seen to date.
An EDW captures, aggregates, and analyzes data in near real-time from the EHR and other internal and external systems that reside in silos.

platform alone and assumes that if you build it, people will come.
Reports can begin to back up in the request queue. If IT can’t keep up or report delivery is too slow, the situation can render your chosen solution redundant.

a different, more measured approach is used to develop an analytics platform. This, however, can result in a project-by-project or flavor-of-the-month approach to analytics.
It’s difficult to keep up with multiple projects and quality and cost gains made in the initial projects are quickly lost.

Avoid Inefficiencies with a Robust Deployment System

A good analytics deployment system provides a methodology for effectively getting clinicians and other stakeholders throughout the organization to embrace your analytics solution and to use data themselves to drive decisions.

A robust deployment system leverages existing personnel to form permanent, cross-functional teams within each area where the healthcare data analytics will be used. Each team takes ownership for their own projects in their own space.
