HIT Think Why a Holistic View of Patient Data is Crucial in Pop Health in HealthData Management

20th July 2018 – Featured in HealthData Management – Population health management is a core competency of an accountable care organization or a clinically integrated network that aims to succeed under value-based reimbursement. To manage population health effectively, an ACO or a CIN must have a holistic view of patient data.

Data from a single EHR does not offer this comprehensive view. The ACO or CIN must build an infrastructure that can automate the collection and normalization of clinical data from multiple EHRs and other sources, as well as claims data from payers.
