Why are insightful analytics more critical now than ever?
Understanding your data is essential to understanding how your facility is performing from an operational, financial, and population health standpoint. In addition, as payment models move from fee-for-service to value based care, it’s critical to understand and control your outcomes. Fee-for-service set pricing for years, but value-based care makes analytics imperative. Payment models rewarding outcome-driven quality and cost control require data.
