MedeAnalytics Promotes the Importance of Early Breast Cancer Detection
In October, MedeAnalytics is recognizing Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a worldwide campaign to increase awareness, education and research about breast health and the importance of early detection. Breast cancer is the second most common kind of cancer in women, and one in eight women will get breast cancer in their life time. Through annual screenings like mammograms, women can survive breast cancer when it’s found and treated early.
Here’s how MedeAnalytics will recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month:
- Our associates will be participating as a team, Mede Pirates of The Cure-Ribbean, in the Race for the Cure in Dallas on Saturday, October 26 and remote employees will be joining their local races.
- MedeAnalytics has partnered with Susan G. Komen to present a collaborative Lunch & Learn educational event hosted by Susan G. Komen ambassador Natasha Mmeje. MedeAnalytics’ employees will learn about the latest in breast cancer research and treatment resources.
- Wear Pink Wednesdays will be acknowledged throughout October to drive awareness
- Employees can share their personal stories of their loved ones and friends to show support on our internal message board
Join us as we participate in promoting this important message of hope and support.

No matter the time of year, payers and providers should work to agree on a shared source of truth when it comes to data. With the recent end of the year, it’s time to celebrate the new year (who isn’t ready to say goodbye to 2020?) and close the books, which includes the reconciliation of any shared savings or losses.
Data visualization: A picture is worth a thousand…healthcare data points?
The amount of data produced daily has grown exponentially with nearly 90% of the world’s data generated in the last two years alone. To ensure we can make sense of this data, analysts must find meaningful ways to present the information to their audiences.
How did we get here? Hospital analytics and the new normal
I have heard the word “unprecedented” so many times in 2020 that it has lost its significance; many of us have become desensitized to the extraordinary changes in the world this year.
Healthcare’s return to “normal” after COVID-19: Is it possible?
As providers determine how to get patients to return to facilities for routine disease management and preventive screenings, opportunities are ripe for the application of analytics to triage at the right time to the right setting. Data related to COVID-19 will continue to flow rapidly, but there are possibly more questions than answers now about a return to “normal.”
