How many investigative sites will you need for your next clinical trial? Will you choose independently-operated sites or a network of sites? Do you know their differences and advantages? We polled our Research Network customers and staff, and share what they said.
Healthcare IT product development involves a lot of Compliance and Security related component development which can be accomplished in various ways. Harbinger has been working on Meaningful Use Stage 2 related software development in HIT products and has gathered useful insights into Secure Patient Health Information exchange, Patient Health Record privacy and security along with simplification of MU Stage 2 attestation & testing through automation.
Attendees got insight on the prerequisites and the technological approach required with examples in accomplishing attestation to meaningful use stage 2 for Healthcare IT systems in a structured manner.
In Dr. Khan’s panel discussion, she discusses how population health management enables healthcare organizations to meet their operational, financial and clinical goals, by leveraging advanced analytics to identify critical gaps in care and streamline administrative costs. At the population-level, real-time analytics can assist hospitals, providers and ACOs to more effectively manage chronic conditions, reduce hospital admissions and readmissions, and ultimately may improve patient outcomes. She also discusses that by incorporating both real-time clinical information and claims data, providers can obtain a comprehensive view of their entire population data landscape, and thus are able to identify those with the greatest noncompliance risk and the most actionable clinical opportunities for improvement.
Most organizations are wondering how to utilize data science to improve decision making and business intelligence. What holds up this process is lack of data for analytics teams. To some extent this dilemma has been resolved by the Open Data initiative publishing large datasets in the cloud and making it freely available.
This session covers on how to access, re-organize and load useful data from the Linked Open Data Cloud in your environment to enable Big Data analytics.
Data can help, but simply accessing more data only muddies your decision making. With Covance, you get the right analysis on the right data to empower your studies.
