A Pioneering Approach to Population Health at ProHealth Care

Christine Bessler, CIO, ProHealth Care, describes how ProHealth Care is the first healthcare system to produce reports and data out of Epic’s Cogito data warehouse in a production environment.  ProHealth Care delivered clinically integrated insights to 460 physicians in the system’s hospitals and clinics, including those in its Accountable Care Organization. Physicians now have access to analytics that allows them to easily see which of their patients are in need of important health screenings or care interventions. This foundational capability sets the stage for enhancing preventive care and improving the management of chronic diseases. In this teleconference Christine shares the strategy ProHealth adopted to integrate data from Epic with information from other EMRs and data sources to deliver clinically integrated business intelligence, and describes how ProHealth Care is positioning itself to deliver against an advanced self-service BI capability in the future.
