Unlocking the full picture of patient care: The power of linked, comprehensive, and actionable insights

The landscape of patient care is evolving, and healthcare systems must adapt to effectively meet patients’ needs, both in terms of their physical location and their specific care requirements. Central to this evolution is the critical importance of ensuring seamless access to comprehensive patient healthcare data.

In today’s healthcare environment, where patient-centered care and value-based reimbursement models are increasingly prominent, it is essential to foster collaboration among all members of a patient’s healthcare team. This collaborative approach is pivotal in delivering quality healthcare and achieving improved health outcomes. Patient-centered care necessitates that healthcare providers and systems fully comprehend the needs and values of patients to offer care that truly meets them where they are. Moreover, the concept of value in healthcare is defined by measuring patient health outcomes against the costs incurred to achieve those improvements. Achieving these goals is inextricably linked to the availability and accessibility of patient information at the point of care—emphasizing the need for the right data at the right time.

Embarking on this journey requires integrating claims and clinical data from connected Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, along with other relevant data sources. This healthcare data collection and integration results in a unified and comprehensive view of the patient’s health, empowering healthcare providers to make more informed decisions and deliver personalized care tailored to the individual needs of each patient.

The power of unified data

Our connectivity and data access link patient healthcare data from all sources to provide a comprehensive and actionable view, from office visits and emergency room encounters to medications filled at their pharmacy, lab results, and immunization history. Claims data provides a historical record of the healthcare delivered to the patient. This includes the patient’s interactions with the healthcare system, including procedures and medications. EHRs contain detailed patient medical and social histories, clinical procedures notes, test results, care plans, and much more. When these data sources are combined, a powerful synergy emerges, allowing healthcare providers to access a 360-degree view of the patient’s health, which is not otherwise possible.

Getting the right quality and quantity of patient healthcare data for your specific clinical use case

It’s not enough to simply have enriched data. Healthcare providers need the right patient data based on use case and setting. DataStream is powered by Inovalon’s proprietary Clinical Intelligence Engine – a clinically trained, logic and rules-based engine that delivers the right quality and quantity of data which is customized based on a provider’s care setting and use case. So, the data received at the point of care is thoroughly enriched and only the needed data is surfaced.
