A Year In Review – Our Top Blogs from 2017
As snow starts to fall across the country and temperatures decline, winter and 2018 are here! 2017 was a busy year for the healthcare industry, from the new administration, ground breaking treatment advancements, the potential of artificial intelligence and most recently, the CVS and Aetna health merger. 2017 has also been a busy year for us at MedeAnalytics with new hires, customer announcements, speaking sessions and more! As we gear up for the new year, we’re looking back and highlighting our top three blog posts from 2017:
Meet MedeAnalytics’ new CEO, Paul Kaiser – In May, we were excited to announce our new CEO, Paul Kaiser, and in June, we had a chance to connect with him to learn more about his background, his company observations thus far and his future plans for the company. Our blog outlines the opportunities our CEO sees for Mede clients and how we can continue to support them amidst the everchanging healthcare landscape.
Enterprise Analytics and Beyond: A Q&A with our Vice President of Healthcare Provider Solutions – In March, our blog explored top provider concerns and offered insight from a Mede executive on the challenges that lay ahead and continued importance of investing in an Enterprise Analytics (EA) strategy. The post outlined proactive approaches for providers to take to ensure a seamless EA strategy, including training and educating clinical leadership, establishing realistic goals and empowering self-service. The post concluded by outlining how analytics’ role in reporting and identifying care and cost improvement opportunities will only grow in importance in the years ahead.

During his presentation, Soyal outlined how the approach promoted outcome-driven clinical excellence and allowed the organization to achieve ROI in the clinical, operational and financial areas within their enterprise. Soyal will also be speaking at HIMSS18 this year and we can’t wait to hear his presentation!
