Drivers of Analytics Globally Protecting patient privacy and cybersecurity, which are key compliance mandates that come with incentives and penalties Ubiquitous availability of mobile devices and proliferation of Internetconnected devices Healthcare reform emphasizing cost and clinical outcomes, resulting in IT innovation 3rd Platform technology (mobile, social, cloud and big data and analytics) adoption and increased computing power Compliance to care delivery standards, quality, and best practices Increasing access to healthcare and social care through technology Unsustainable healthcare costs pg 3
Common Use Cases for Analytics 45% 70% of providers indicated their top reason for investing in analytics is to analyze patient behaviors and conditions to determine the most effective pathway of providers indicated illness/ disease progression was the reason to invest in analytics 50% of providers indicated organization resource utilization and turnover was a top reason for investment 4 Determine drivers of re-admissions for patients and avoid un-necessary re-admissions 4 Understand treatment variations and establish best practices 4 Leverage genomic data globally to personalize treatments for complex cancer patients to improve life expectancy, quality of life, and costs 4 Identify psychological and social drivers of patient compliance to chronic care paths to improve overall health and avoid disease progression globally Source: 3 IDC European Healthcare Provider Survey 2014/2015 pg 4
Adoption Maturity Model for Big Data Analytics 0% 16.7% 57.8% 25.5% 0% Ad Hoc Opportunistic Repeatable Managed Optimized Maturity Stage Definitions Ad hoc pilot projects Opportunistic un-budgeted projects Repeatable processes and data analytics that Financial can be Insights replicated Managed budget, enterprise recognition Optimized maintenance and improvement of established strategy There are 5 stages of maturity for big data analytics that must be traversed ad hoc, opportunistic, repeatable, managed, and optimized across five organizational dimensions (intent, data, processes, people, and technology). Distribution of maturity for hospitals across the five stages is consistent with other industries with the largest number of hospitals (58%) in the repeatable stage. Unlike other industries, hospitals are not represented in the ad hoc or the optimized stages of maturity. High and low achievers have reached the managed stage for the dimension of intent 41% of high achievers and 38% of low achievers. The greatest variation between high and low achievers is in the data dimension. Over 50% of high achievers were in the repeatable stage and 54% of low achievers were in the opportunistic stage.

Best Practices: Intent Healthcare organizations attempting to improve quality and manage costs must make analytics an organizational priority invest in people, processes, and technology. 4 47% of high achievers and 31% of low achievers manage their big data analytics at the enterprise level 4 Create a strategic and operational plan for data and analytics. Only 26% of providers have a business intelligence strategy Don t overlook the importance of data governance and data management. 4 Assign a Chief Data Officer and data stewards who are responsible for the development and compliance of data related policy and procedure and the quality of data sources 4 80% of data and analytic investment will fail due to a lack of data management and governance 4 There s a 42% variation in data governance between high and low achievers 4 Align BDA efforts evenly over the 5 dimensions in organizations where there is tight alignment of dimensions, 93% were high achievers and 7% were low achievers Analytics for population health management must be administrative-led but physician-driven.

Best Practices: People While executive leadership is critical, be sure to have managers involved in the planning and execution of big data and analytics. 4 Collaboration among key stakeholders at the business, analytic, and IT levels is key to identifying the data types needed by business users 4 30% of high achievers and only 8% of low achievers reported significant collaboration 4 Recruit and retain IT staff with strategy and project management skills 4 There is a 25% difference between high and low achievers in their ability to be very successful in recruiting staff for data collection, integration, data preparation, and management 4 Understand and manage the cultural challenge of change with continuous reminders of the value of big data and analytics initiatives 4 Involve physicians early in the adoption of analytic initiatives they will be the greatest critics of the data and its quality We Financial gave Insights our physicians six months to work with their performance data before any penalties or bonus were adopted. This gave the physicians time to get comfortable with the performance data and make changes to their practices to achieve their goals.
