Social determinants of health (SDOH) data captures impacts on patient health beyond the healthcare delivery system. Traditional health data (e.g., from healthcare encounters) only tells a portion of the patient and population health story. To understand the full spectrum of health impacts (e.g., from environment to relationship and employment status), organizations need data from their patient’s daily lives. The urgency for SDOH data is particularly strong today, as value-based payment increasingly presses health systems to raise quality and lower cost. Without fuller insight into patient health (what happens beyond healthcare encounters) organizations can’t align with community services to help patients meet needs of daily living—prerequisites for maintaining good health. Standardizing SDOH data into healthcare workflows, however, requires an informed strategy. Health systems will benefit by following a standardization protocol that includes relevant and comprehensive domains, engages patients, enables broader understanding of patient health, integrates with organizational EHRs, and is easy for clinicians to follow.

Using survey results from the 2017 Healthcare Analytics Summit™ (HAS) conference, the HAS team has compiled an infographic of key insights. Featured metrics include:
On Thursday, the last day of the Healthcare Analytics Summit, attendees learned about a “flipped” health system from Maureen Bisognano; found out from Robert DeMichiei that we “have a cost problem” (but it’s not what you think); discovered the four ways healthcare got into this predicament—and what to do about it—according to David Nash, MD; and saw what a “Coalition of the Willing” can do in low-income communities with the HAS Documentary.
The 2017 Healthcare Analytics Summit started Tuesday night with the Analytics Walkabout, the Products and Services Showcase, and the Care Management Show. Wednesday morning featured a fascinating keynote addresses from Thomas Davenport, Eric Topol, and Dale Sanders. Attendees were also treated to the HAS 17 Edition of “Hollywood Squares” with Tom Burton.
Like many U.S. health systems, Allina Health understands the importance of the Triple Aim in today’s healthcare environment—as the industry confronts rising costs along with inadequate quality of care. With the move toward value-based care, these factors will increasingly impact market share. Allina is responding with its Clinical Value Process initiative. The organization uses this fully integrated multidisciplinary strategy to make outcomes improvement decisions and measure both the quality and fiscal performance of improvement projects. Key elements of Clinical Value Process include:
Healthcare is poised for groundbreaking change, in which the fusion of unprecedented access to mobile technology and advanced understanding of disease brings in the era of truly individualized medicine. Eric Topol, M.D., a leader in digital medicine, will share his vision for the wireless medicine revolution at the 2017 Healthcare Analytics Summit™ conference. In the next data-driven generation of democratized healthcare, consumers will monitor personal health information—from vital signs to fetal heartrate—directly on their smartphones. Real-time access to health status will make consumers true partners in their own care, enabling them to make proactive decisions to improve their health and prevent or respond to critical events.
Human decision making…ultimately, this is the component that drives outcomes improvement in healthcare. But the pathway to this decision making involves technology—machine learning and predictive analytics—as well as processes and people. Dr. David Wild, the Vice President of Lean Promotion at The University of Kansas Health System, along with Chris Harper, the system’s Director of Business Architecture and Analytics, will lead a case study breakout session at the 2017 Healthcare Analytics Summit to discuss this topic. Of particular note is this healthcare system’s results in reducing readmissions across the board in a very short period, which also contributed significantly to financial improvement. It will be an inside look at the successful blend of human and technological resources needed for broadly reducing readmissions and improving outcomes within a large healthcare system.
Dr. David Nash is the Founding Dean of the Jefferson College of Population Health on the campus of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. His keynote presentation at the 2017 Healthcare Analytics Summit, titled “Leadership for Population Health,” will address several formative topics, including:
Too often, the hard work of collecting and transforming data into meaningful insights is betrayed by a critical step in the journey: the visualization. Data visualizations should always make data easily consumable and digestible and accelerate outcomes improvement. This is where the Health Catalyst University Visualization Track comes into play. It’s one of four tracks available leading up to the 2017 Healthcare Analytics Summit. Class attendees will learn how to:
Duncan Gallagher—a Keynote Speaker at the 2017 Healthcare Analytics Summit™ conference—is healthcare’s top expert when it comes to transitioning to value-based care. As Allina Health’s CFO, Executive Vice President, and Chief Administrative Officer, Gallagher has first-hand experience leading a four-billion-dollar system’s transition out of fee-for-service gridlock into what’s quickly becoming healthcare’s next era: value-based care. Gallagher argues that, while fee-for-service is the status quo, it’s not a long-term viable option. With accolades such as 2016 CFO of the year, Gallagher has the deep industry experience required to help health systems achieve VBC-driven financial viability while prioritizing (and relentlessly pursuing) disease prevention and outcomes improvement.
Tom Davenport, one of the top three business/technology analysts in IT and one of Fortune’s top 50 business school professors, pioneered the concept of “competing on analytics” and is the opening keynote speaker for the 2017 Healthcare Analytics Summit. Having written/edited 18 books and more than 100 articles, Tom is cofounder of the International Institute for Analytics and senior advisor to Deloitte Analytics. Tom is known for making the most complex concepts accessible—a critical skill an industry as complex as healthcare. And when it comes to big data, Tom is dedicated to equipping healthcare leaders with a clear, useful understanding of what it means from a technical, consumer, and management perspective so health systems can make fact-based, data-driven decisions that lead to outcomes improvement.
When it comes to outcomes and process improvement in healthcare, Maureen Bisognano is the industry expert. With deep healthcare experience that began at Quincy Hospital, where Maureen worked as a staff nurse, then Director of Nursing, then Director of Patient Services, and then COO, she is currently the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) President Emerita and Senior Fellow. Maureen’s interest in healthcare improvement began when her brother, Johnny, was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease at age 17. Johnny’s hospital experiences inspired Maureen to dedicate her life to improving patient lives. As a keynote speaker at HAS 17, Maureen will share her inspirational story and practical approach to quality improvement.
As we define critical goals in healthcare transformation (improved outcomes and control of cost, for example), it is just as important that we identify the type of leadership best suited for these objectives. And, much like we’re disrupting our approach to healthcare, we’re also disrupting some common notions about effective leadership. We may have traditionally valued leaders as absolute experts and indispensable parts of an organization. Effective leadership today, however, may be more rooted in what leaders don’t know—in other words, how they ask questions and capitalize on the knowledge around them. In answer to today’s leadership challenges, Liz Wiseman proposes what she calls “rookie smarts.” She argues that the real power lies in what we don’t know and that asking good questions outweighs knowing all the answers.
