It’s natural to reach for advanced analytics, machine learning, and other potentially transformational technologies in healthcare. That’s especially true in oncology where speed to diagnosis and speed to care are critical. However, there are fundamental data needs that must be mastered if we are going to be successful.
Today we talk with C.K. Wang, Chief Medical Officer at COTA about these fundamentals:
- A surprising number of physicians and health delivery organizations still do not fully grasp the importance of data nor how to use it to enhance care delivery
- Many provider organizations cling to a disabling view of HIPAA and other privacy laws that make them slow to share critical data when it’s needed most
- Data completeness and data fidelity issues continue to fly under the radar due to issues 1 and 2
Bottom line: You cannot hope to succeed in risk-based models until you stop putting all your patients into the same bucket. And you can’t do that until you’ve mastered these data fundamentals.
Learn how COTA helps its customers overcome these issues and puts them on a path to succeed in value-based care.
Plus, we take a look at how COTA is helping the Miami Cancer Institute explore racial and ethnic disparities in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
