Moving and Improving: Using Data and Informatics to Inform Your Business Strategy, Save Lives and Improve Quality

A complimentary webinar from Healthcare Data Insights - August 19th, 11:00AM - 12:00PM EDT

Moving and Improving: Using Data and Informatics to Inform Your Business Strategy, Save Lives and Improve Quality

The University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC), the member organization of 120 non-profit Academic Medical Centers and their affiliates, encourages hospitals to integrate data into their business plans, in part by demonstrating how data can be used to save lives and improve quality scores. With transparent access to data from more than 400 hospitals (which includes more than 5 million inpatient discharges annually and 25 million outpatient encounters), learn how they make the case for member hospitals to “move and improve” with innovative programming based on data.

Speaker: David Levine, MD, FACEP, Vice President, Informatics, and Medical Director, UHC

In this seminar, David will show how members maximize hospital and physician data to measure efficiency and effectiveness. Work in both the inpatient and outpatient settings to capture performance over the continuum of care will be emphasized. The data challenges will be highlighted especially with cost and capturing all inputs to care.

• Key metrics being used to measure overall hospital performance
• How Academic Medical Centers are looking at physician variability
• How to identify key opportunities for cost reduction
• Importance of risk adjustment and using proper compare groups to engage clinicians in improvement
