The Challenge of Clinical Data Integration

Michael Kamerick, Specialist Leader, and Aaron Abend, Director, Deloitte Consulting LLP. Success in the accountable care world requires analytics that are fundamentally different than those used to succeed in the fee-for-service world. Integrating data to provide these analytical views requires the combination of data through a technical framework and institutional governance. Michael and Aaron describe work at various hospital systems facing different data integration challenges and explain how these institutions developed the organizational governance to begin the development of integrated data resources for accountable care. Use cases will include UCLA, the Northern New England Accountable Care Collaborative, and UMass Memorial Health Care.
