Driving Enterprise-Wide Change by Breaking Down Data Silos and Creating a Data-Driven Culture

This year’s Big Data & Healthcare Analytics Forum brought together payers, providers, government and academia decision-makers who shared their successes and lessons learned from their transition to value-based care. Of the many thought leaders who participated in the discussion, our client, Soyal Momin, Vice President of Data & Analytics at Presbyterian Healthcare Services (PHS), presented his abstract, “Eliminating Data Silos and Driving ROI.”

As a large integrated healthcare system consisting of eight hospitals, a statewide health plan and a growing multi-specialty medical group, PHS found it increasingly challenging to oversee its entire business from one integrated view. After investing in an enterprise data warehouse (EDW), PHS continued utilizing several reporting tools from different vendors for each of its business lines that created data silos. For PHS to thrive under the value-based care model, the organization knew they needed to balance their costs, utilization, quality, risk and outcomes. During Soyal’s presentation, he outlined how through their partnership with MedeAnalytics they could strategically differentiate themselves and add value within their integrated data analytics model. To achieve this success, PHS focused on three distinct categories:

  • Creating Value for Key Stakeholders – Creating an integrated, enterprise approach, extends meaningful, actionable insights across PHS and to their business users so they’re able to access content, business rules, benchmarks, best-practice analysis and views.
  • Integrating Payer and Provider Analytics – Through an enterprise approach to analytics, PHS has an integrated overview into their provider groups and health plan. The insights are extended across financial, operational and clinical areas throughout the provider-side of the organization. For the health plan, they can analyze payer data for cost and utilization.
  • Promoting a Data-Driven Culture – Data literacy and data democratization is the foundation for creating a data-driven culture. A key component in creating this was tapping data analysts whose sole job is to gather data and analyze it in a meaningful way to generate results. PHS gave their analysts the appropriate training and mentoring to ensure they were developing a consultative skillset that met the needs of their diverse organization.

PHS has achieved ROI in its clinical, operational and financial areas within their enterprise. Additionally, PHS recognized operational efficiencies by replacing seven analytics vendors with MedeAnalytics, reducing redundancies and achieving quick wins with business stakeholders. More so, PHS expects to save millions in 2017 by improving collection for Medicaid encounters and increasing business development revenue.
