Customer journey analytics uses machine learning and big data to track and analyze when and through what channels customers interact with an organization, with an aim to influence behavior (e.g., buying behaviors among retail customers). Similarly, healthcare organizations want to influence health-related behaviors, such a taking medication as prescribed and not smoking, to improve outcomes and lower the cost of care. In a partnership with an analytics services provider, a payer organization is leveraging customer journey analytics among healthcare consumers to identify the best opportunities and channels for patient outreach. With this analytics-driven engagement strategy, the payer has found an opportunity to significantly improve patient engagement—a predicted overall increase from 18 percent to 31 percent.

Three Must-Haves for a Successful Healthcare Data StrategyHealth Catalyst
Healthcare is confronting rising costs, aging and growing populations, an increasing focus on population health, alternative payment models, and other challenges as the industry shifts from volume to value. These obstacles drive a growing need for more digitization, accompanied by a data-centric improvement strategy.
To establish and maintain data as a primary strategy that guides clinical, financial, and operational transformation, organizations must have three systems in place:
Best practices to identify target behaviors and practices.
Analytics to accelerate improvement and identify gaps between best practices and analytic results.
Adoption processes to outline the path to transformation.
How pharma and healthcare brands can improve their customer experienceJack Morton Worldwide
The SVP and Managing Director of Jack’s Chicago office, Matt Pensinger, presented at Lions Health 2015 with Katie Bang from Eli Lilly and Company about improving the customer experience for patients:
There is growing recognition amongst healthcare brands that understanding the full patient journey is essential for success in today’s healthcare environment. The sheer extent of this both physical and emotional journey, from awareness through to treatment and adherence, opens the patient to many potential experience gaps between their expectations and reality that can lead to frustration, disillusionment and even dropping the prescribed treatment.
So, healthcare companies must understand this journey if they are to improve the customer experience – and offer necessary patient support that extends far beyond a given medication. Being truly effective requires that the entire organisation (from science through to sales) understands the patient journey in order to meet patient needs and effectively engage the many stakeholders that are becoming increasingly important to a therapy’s success.
This is a significant undertaking and healthcare brands and their marketing agencies need to think differently about how they engage with patients and support communications for all the other stakeholders. This talk will examine the experience journey and what it means for the way we market.

Three Approaches to Predictive Analytics in HealthcareHealth Catalyst
Predictive analytics in healthcare must be timely, role-specific, and actionable to be successful. There are also three common types of healthcare predictive analytics: Risk scores (risk stratification using CMS-HCC or other models), What-if scenarios (simulations of specific outcomes given a certain combination of events, and Geo-spatial analytics (mapping a geographical location’s patient disease burden). The common thread in all of these is the element of action, or specifically, the intervention that really matters in healthcare predictive analytics.
By leveraging Big Data, the healthcare industry has an incredible potential to improve lives. This session will give examples of how data volume, velocity and variety is transforming the “art” of a doctor to the science of care.

ACOs: Four Ways Technology Contributes to SuccessHealth Catalyst
With an increasing emphasis on value-based care, Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are here to stay. In an ACO, healthcare providers and hospitals come together with the shared goals of reducing costs and increasing patient satisfaction by providing high-quality coordinated healthcare to Medicare patients. However, many ACOs lack direction and experience difficulty understanding how to use data to improve care. Implementing a robust data analytics system to automate the process of data gathering and analysis as well as aligning data with ACO quality reporting measures. The article walks through four keys to effectively implementing technology for ACO success:
Build a data repository with an analytics platform.
Bring data to the point of care.
Analyze claims data, identify outliers, including successes and failures.
Combine clinical claims, and quality data to identify opportunities for improvement.
Opportunity analysis uses data to identify potential improvement initiatives and quantifies the value of these initiatives—both in terms of patient care benefits and financial impact. This process is an effective way to find unwarranted and costly clinical variation and, in turn, develop strategies to reduce it, improving outcomes and saving costs along the way. Standardizing the opportunity analysis process makes it repeatable and prioritizes actionable opportunities.
Quarterly opportunity analysis should follow four steps:
Kicking off the analysis by getting analysts together to do preliminary analysis and brainstorm.
Engaging with clinicians to identify opportunities and, in the process, get clinician buy in.
Digging deeper into the suggested opportunities to prioritize those that offer the greatest benefits.
Presenting findings to the decision makers.
The Top Seven Healthcare Outcome Measures and Three Measurement EssentialsHealth Catalyst
Healthcare outcomes improvement can’t happen without effective outcomes measurement. Given the healthcare industry’s administrative and regulatory complexities, and the fact that health systems measure and report on hundreds of outcomes annually, this article adds much-needed clarity by reviewing the top seven outcome measures, including definitions, important nuances, and real-life examples. The top seven categories of outcome measures are:
Mortality
Readmissions
Safety of care
Effectiveness of care
Patient experience
Timeliness of care
Efficient use of medical imaging
CMS used these seven outcome measures to calculate overall hospital quality and arrive at its 2018 hospital star ratings. This article also reiterates the importance of outcomes measurement, clarifies how outcome measures are defined and prioritized, and recommends three essentials for successful outcomes measurement.
The Changing Role of Healthcare Data AnalystsHealth Catalyst

This report explores how the evolution to value-based care is changing the role of healthcare data analysts, how data analysts’ skills can best be applied to achieve value-based objectives and, finally, how Health Catalyst’s most successful health system clients are making this cultural transformation happen in the real world.
The Digitization of Healthcare: Why the Right Approach Matters and Five Steps...Health Catalyst
While many industries are leveraging digital transformation to accelerate their productivity and quality, healthcare ranks among the least digitized sectors. Healthcare data is largely incomplete when it comes to fully representing a patient’s health and doesn’t adequately support diagnoses and treatment, risk prediction, and long-term health care plans. But even with the obvious urgency for increased healthcare digitization, the industry must raise this trajectory with sensitivity to the impacts on clinicians and patients. The right digital strategy will not only aim for more comprehensive information on patient health, but also leverage data to empower and engage the people involved.
Health systems can follow five guidelines to digitize in a sustainable, impactful way:
Achieve and maintain clinician and patient engagement.
Adopt a modern commercial digital platform.
Digitize the assets (the patients) and the processes.
Understand the importance of data to drive AI insights.
Prioritize data volume.
How to Evaluate Emerging Healthcare Technology with Innovative AnalyticsHealth Catalyst
As healthcare systems are pressured to cut costs and still provide high-quality care, they will need to look across the care continuum for answers, reduce variation in care, and look to emerging technologies.

Unlocking the usefulness of the data helps everyone from patients and caregivers to payers and vendors.
Let’s look at all the aspects in which a data analytics system will affect the healthcare sector.
Three Analytics Strategies to Drive Patient-Centered CareHealth Catalyst
The cost of uncoordinated care that fails to prioritize patient needs is estimated to be over $27.2 billion. One of the primary reasons behind these wasted healthcare dollars is a failure to effectively leverage data to understand patient needs—a must-have to deliver patient-centered, value-based care (VBC).
Three analytics strategies enable health systems to focus on patients while also meeting the financial standards for VBC delivery:
Prioritize patient outreach by risk level.
Deploy data tools to combat COVID-19.
Promote data literacy.
Detailed information from comprehensive data sets allows health systems to understand patient needs at a granular level and then use that insight to drive care decisions. More informed care ensures health systems are also meeting the core elements of VBC—managing costs, delivering quality, and ensuring an excellent patient experience.
In Pursuit of the Patient Stratification Gold Standard: Getting There with He...Health Catalyst
Even the healthiest among us would benefit from some level of care management, but resources are limited and patients must be stratified to facilitate prioritized enrollment into care management programs. Therefore, health systems need to identify not only high-cost, high-risk, and rising-risk patients, but also patients who are truly impactable.
This article explains how systems can use healthcare analytics, at varying levels of maturity, to improve patient stratification and, ultimately, achieve the gold standard:
Level 1 (where to start): use healthcare analytics to identify high-cost, high-risk patients in a population.
Level 2: use healthcare analytics to identify patients with rising-risk profiles.
Level 3 (highest level of maturity): use healthcare analytics to identify patients who are truly impactable (the patient stratification gold standard).
Analytics is key to achieving the patient stratification gold standard, but should enhance (not replace) clinical judgement. Stratification lists need to go through workflows in which clinicians remove patients that aren’t appropriate for enrollment.
