“ During encounters with patients we ’ re seeing data as a way of adding diagnosis to provide better decision support for our physicians ”
SERGE PERRAS CTO , CHENMED
Trends “ The big trend is growth ,” affirms Perras . “ If you look at primary care as a whole , and then focus on the strong health outcomes being achieved by ChenMed and other value-based care providers , it is clear why Medicare Advantage insurance receives strong support from public policy makers .
Competition motivates us to find better ways to modernize and transform care . Historically , there was a belief in a 10-year lag between current technology and the technology that most health care organizations were utilizing . That gap has closed significantly , partly because of the influence of the value-based care model . A limit on resources means that when we ’ re optimizing it ’ s with a focus on what ’ s actually going to make us more efficient and profitable , so analytics and technology are vital .”
Data science has come a long way and is now capable of delivering the right information at the right time because , as Perras rightly states : “ Reports and information are useless if they ' re not actionable .” For ChenMed it ’ s the big driver for decision support , analysis around existing data and the management of unstructured data in the healthcare space to help improve patient outcomes . healthcareglobal . com 159
