Come to learn how Splunk’s data analytics platform could be utilized to solve many high impact business problems in healthcare delivery systems to reduce cost, improve patient outcome and safety, and enhance care coordination experience. Analyze observed behavior from healthcare event data and metadata to discover patterns, monitor compliance, and optimize the workflow. Furthermore 80% of healthcare data is unstructured (clinical free text and documentation), or semi-structured and many new data sources are such as tele health, mobile health, sensors, and devices are getting integrated in many healthcare systems specifically in the area of chronic disease management. So, one need analytics software that can harvest, interpret, enrich, normalize, and model diverse structured and unstructured data and analytics approaches that embrace the “data turmoil” by relying less on standardized data items and more on the capability to process data in any format.

Looking Back on Clinical Decision Support and Data WarehousingHealth Catalyst
Dale will take a slide deck previously prepared in 2006, from a lecture entitled, "The Power of an Enterprise Data Warehouse in Clinical Decision Support", presented to several informatics masters classes at Northwestern University and the University of Victoria. He won’t change anything about the slide deck, including the content and the old school graphics. The concept with this webinar is to give a “time capsule” perspective on past thinking and contrast that against current thoughts and trends in the market. Some of the information will be laughably wrong and naive, and some of the information will still be relevant. The hope is, by regularly reviewing our past, we will better inform our future.
The document describes the development of a dashboard to measure the impact of Innovation Units at Massachusetts General Hospital. It outlines the dashboard development process, including selecting metrics, collecting data from various sources, and using visual displays and benchmarks to show performance over time. The goal is to use data to drive improvement through testing changes and spreading improvements. Sample metrics in the dashboard include falls, pressure ulcers, central line infections, and patient and staff satisfaction measures.
The document discusses the value of analytics in healthcare. It argues that healthcare organizations have large amounts of data from various sources like EMRs, finance systems, and other clinical and administrative systems. However, this data is often underutilized. The author proposes using a healthcare enterprise intelligence framework to extract, transform, and load this data into a centralized data warehouse where it can be integrated, standardized, and made available for analysis. This would allow healthcare leaders to better understand their operations and make more informed decisions using business intelligence tools like OLAP cubes, dashboards, and reports. The goal is to improve outcomes by personalizing care based on past patient data and evidence.
How to Eliminate the Burden of Provider Quality Measurement: Able HealthHealth Catalyst
Quality measurement is complicated by incomplete data, calculations, visualizations, and workflows. As a result, quality measurement is a significant burden for medical groups. In fact, research that Health Affairs published in 2016 quantified the burden as 785 hours per provider per year.
That's why Health Catalyst is excited to introduce Able Health, the only quality measures solution that’s truly complete.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how Able Health combines all data, measures, visualizations, and workflows (monitor, improve, and submit) into one complete solution. Eliminating the complexity, and therefore the burden, of provider quality measurement means you spend more time improving performance and less time managing data.
You’ll also learn how each of the three core components of the Able Health solution makes more efficient quality measurement possible:
-Measures engine—calculates performance for all provider quality measures for all payer programs using every available data element.
-Performance dashboard—visualizes all performance metrics for daily tracking, prioritization, and internal reporting for all stakeholders, especially physicians.
-Submission engine—submits compliant data to payers.
Reviewing the Healthcare Analytics Adoption Model: A Roadmap and Recipe for A...Health Catalyst
Dale Sanders provides an update on the Healthcare Analytics Adoption Model. Dale published the first version of this model in 2002, calling it the Analytics Capability Maturity Model. The three intentions at that time are the same as they are today: 1) Provide healthcare leaders with a clear roadmap for the progression of analytic maturity in their organization. 2) Provide vendors with a roadmap to meet the analytic needs of clients. 3) Create a common framework to benchmark the progressive adoption of analytics at the industry level.
In 2012, Dale co-published a new version of the Model with Dr. Denis Protti, rebranding it the Healthcare Analytics Adoption Model and purposely borrowing from the widespread adoption of the EMR Adoption Model (EMRAM) published and supported by HIMSS. In 2015, Dale transferred the model under a creative commons copyright to HIMSS to create a vendor-independent industry standard that is now widely applied to support the original three intentions. He continues to collaborate with HIMSS to progress the Model.
During this webinar, Dale:
-Reviews the current state of the Health Catalyst Model, including recent changes that advocate a ninth level—direct-to-patient analytics and AI.
-Shares his observations of maturity in the market.
-Provides an update on the current state of the HIMSS Adoption Model for Analytic Maturity.

Patient Flow Through a Hospital Combined Charts R4 link onlyWilliam Beckman RN
Patient flow in a hospital typically involves registration, treatment in departments like nursing stations, surgery, recovery, and ancillary departments, before being discharged. Key steps include:
1) Registration collects patient information and assigns rooms.
2) Nursing stations provide care under doctor's orders and coordinate with other departments.
3) Surgery performs procedures and sends patients to recovery.
4) Patients return to nursing stations for further treatment before potential discharge.
5) The business office handles billing and coding before patients leave the facility.
1) The document discusses strategies for improving emergency department (ED) flow, including optimizing patient intake, throughput, and output to reduce wait times.
2) Key aspects of ED flow addressed include breaking the ED into smaller teams, using tracks or pods that scale based on patient volume, emphasizing flexibility, and developing cultural urgency.
3) Plans for surge capacity involve decompression strategies to temporarily expand or speed up the ED, as well as an escalation system to communicate capacity issues across the facility. Patient satisfaction is directly tied to length of stay, so flow optimization is critical.

The purposes of PCS include determining nursing staffing needs and workload. There are different types of PCS, including descriptive systems, checklist systems, and time-based systems. Effective PCS groups patients into categories based on factors like acuity, dependency, and time required for care. PCS are important for quality care, staff satisfaction, and monitoring standards.
5 Reasons Why Healthcare Data is Unique and Difficult to MeasureHealth Catalyst
Healthcare data is not linear. It is a complex, diverse beast unlike the data of any other industry. There are five ways in particular that make healthcare data unique:
1. Much of the data is in multiple places.
2. The data is structured and unstructured.
3. It has inconsistent and variable definitions; evidence-based practice and new research is coming out every day. 4. The data is complex.
5. Changing regulatory requirements.
The answer for this unpredictability and complexity is the agility of a late-binding Data Warehouse.

Workflow Continuity—Moving Beyond Business Continuity
in a Multisite 24–7 Healthcare Organization

Published online: 6 July 2012
# Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine 2012
Abstract As hospitals move towards providing in-house
24×7 services, there is an increasing need for information
systems to be available around the clock. This study inves-
tigates one organization’s need for a workflow continuity
solution that provides around the clock availability for in-
formation systems that do not provide highly available
services. The organization investigated is a large multifacil-
ity healthcare organization that consists of 20 hospitals and
more than 30 imaging centers. A case analysis approach was
used to investigate the organization’s efforts. The results
show an overall reduction in downtimes where radiologists
could not continue their normal workflow on the integrated
Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS)
solution by 94 % from 2008 to 2011. The impact of un-
planned downtimes was reduced by 72 % while the impact
of planned downtimes was reduced by 99.66 % over the
same period. Additionally more than 98 h of radiologist
impact due to a PACS upgrade in 2008 was entirely elimi-
nated in 2011 utilizing the system created by the workflow
continuity approach. Workflow continuity differs from high
availability and business continuity in its design process and
available services. Workflow continuity only ensures that
critical workflows are available when the production system
is unavailable due to scheduled or unscheduled downtimes.
Workflow continuity works in conjunction with business
continuity and highly available system designs. The results
of this investigation revealed that this approach can add
significant value to organizations because impact on users
is minimized if not eliminated entirely.

Background
Recently, the US government mandated the use of health
information technology for healthcare providers [1]. The
legislation outlines financial penalties for providers that
choose not to adopt technologies as well as benefits for
those that do adopt the technologies. As the adoption of
health information technology increases, so will the need for
information systems that allow critical organizational work-
flows to continue when those systems are unavailable due to
either scheduled or unscheduled system downtimes.
This paper is a case analysis of one organization’s solu-
tion to a need for a system that provides workflow continu-
ity around the clock. Workflow continuity moves beyond.
The document discusses various methods for collecting and analyzing data to inform quality improvement projects. It describes process mapping to analyze current processes, brainstorming to generate ideas, surveys to understand stakeholder perspectives, audits to measure performance against standards, and cause and effect diagrams to identify root causes of problems. The goal of using these techniques is to thoroughly diagnose issues to identify opportunities for improving processes and outcomes.

The framework includes 4 steps: 1) assessing information needs, 2) designing future reporting structures, 3) sustaining data management and auditing, and 4) developing analytics and reporting capabilities. Key goals are providing the right data to stakeholders, enhancing decision-making, and using metrics to influence performance.
Big data, RWE and AI in Clinical Trials made simpleHadas Jacoby
Technology is slowly but surely penetrating the healthcare industry in general and the clinical trials sector in particular. New and advanced solutions offer a variety of possibilities aimed to both improving existing processes and creating new and more efficient ones. And on top of all stands the desire to make clinical trials more patient centric.
In all of this, even though some of the technologies have yet to mature enough to meet the high quality standards necessary, it is important to know them and begin imagining the promise they hold for clinical trials.
This document discusses the use of business process management (BPM) and decision management in the healthcare and life sciences industries. It begins by outlining several challenges facing these industries, including increasing costs, inconsistent quality, and lack of access to care. It then provides examples of how BPM can help address issues like provider process management, payer claims management, and pharmaceutical compliance. The document argues that BPM allows for more efficient, standardized processes that improve outcomes while reducing costs. It also provides an overview of how IBM's BPM solutions approach can help organizations implement these tools.

Create Real-Time Actionable Outcomes Using Data WarehousesRoni H. Amiel
Many organizations struggle with outcome measures including identifying relevant measures, finding where the data resides, presenting the data in a meaningful way to different stakeholders and developing processes to isolate problem areas and improve them. One of the biggest barriers is the retrospective nature of most outcome data. This presentation will explain ways to identify, collect and display outcomes that are real-time and actionable.

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

Do we know what a drug or diagnosis code means and does it mean the same in different EHRs? Similarly, do we know what an EHR event in an EHR event log means and does it mean the same in different systems. This last will be important for comparing process models, as EHRs are so user- customizable. “Check Meds” in one EHR might be called “Medications” in another. What exactly does “Check Meds” mean? Where, exactly, does it fit in a hierarchy of tasks, such as “checking” other things besides medications or involvement of medications in other activities besides “checking”? Is asking a patient about medications (or retrieving the medication list from online) an example of “Check Meds”?
Is there a difference in the ordering and frequency of activities between patients that were treated by either a high- or low-volume surgeon? (control-flow perspective)
Is there a difference in resource involvement between patients that were treated by either a high- or low-volume surgeon? (organisational perspective)
Is there a difference in time-related performance between patients that were treated by either a high- or low-volume surgeon? (performance perspective)
Is there a difference in the ordering and frequency of activities between patients that had a throughput time of 80 and 40 minutes or less in respectively the pre-operative and final postoperative examination and patients with a longer throughput time?
Is there a difference in time-related performance between patients that had a throughput time of 80 and 40 minutes or less in respectively the pre-operative and final postoperative examination and patients with a longer throughput time?
It is apparent that the business processes in the medical domain are dynamic, ad-hoc, unstructured and multi-disciplinary in nature. he goal of clustering is to obtain homogeneous group of patients.
A defining characteristic of modern health care is the rapidly accelerating increase in information that is available to assist with the delivery of care and system management.

Machine data is generated by many different sources within the healthcare IT infrastructure. These sources include healthcare specific data sources such as electronic health record (EHR) systems, HL7 messaging, and connected medical devices. The data sources include core IT systems that support different applications such as desktops, servers, storage and network devices. Finally, they include all the patient facing applications and systems – portals, billing systems, claim management systems.
Machine data generated by this infrastructure shares the core characteristics of big data – lot of data (high volume), created rapidly (high velocity), from different sources (variety), and data that changes over time (variability). Getting timely and relevant insight into this data can be a source of huge value for the healthcare ecosystem.

One of the most useful types of visualizations is a “Sankey diagram”, which is used to describe flows through systems.
These can be customer flows through marketing or sales funnels, traffic flows through the actual network, energy flows through a physical system, capital flows through a financial system, etc.
It’s a very streamlined form of visualization that cuts out everything unrelated to “flow”.
Technically, this is a graph visualization: the nodes are smushed to these bars along the side, and edges are represented by these fat bars connecting nodes.
The width of a node is proportional to the volume of flow in and out of the node, and the width of an edge is proportional to the flow from the start node to the end node.

Dashed links are resolved suits; green links are licensing.
“Thomson Reuters published a rather abysmal infographic showing the "bowl of spaghetti" that is current flurry of patent-related suits in the mobile communications industry. So, inspired by a comment by John Firebaugh, I remade the visualization to better convey the network. That company in the center? Yeah, it's the world's largest, so little wonder it has the most incoming suits.”

Alerts are triggered when certain conditions are met by the results of the search upon which it is based. Alerts can be based on both historical and real-time searches.
When an alert is triggered, it performs an alert action. This action can be the sending of the alert information to a designated set of email addresses, or the posting of the alert information to an RSS feed. Alerts can also be set up to run a custom script when they are triggered.
You can base these alerts on a wide range of threshold and trend-based scenarios, including empty shopping carts, brute force firewall attacks, and server system errors.
