Challenges with Data Analytics in Healthcare

Data available in healthcare can be segregated along the following

lines
Structured Data : EMR systems, Claims systems, Revenue cycle
systems
Unstructured Data : Doctor notes, Images

Focus has been on the "volume" end of analytics, namely Data

Management and Governance

Descriptive analytics, while Advanced Analytics and Predictive

Modelling usage is limited
Most Hospitals are understaffed for the most basic reporting and
analytical needs

Emerging markets/India Specific Challenges

Lack of country wide hospital KPI data

No adequate survey-based data
No administrative reporting system that provide basic
hospital service statistics
Healthcare organizations are wary of technology
integration due to cost burden caused by requirement of
IT infrastructure and technical expertise

Silver lining for Data Analytics for Indian

Healthcare providers

According to Gartner, India's healthcare providers plan to

spend US$ 1.05 billion on IT products and services in
2013
As the health care industry moves to electronic health
records, the storage of data is increasingly going to be on
the cloud.

The healthcare business intelligence /

EPM landscape
Healthcare decision support is usually workflow-specific

Provided within functional systems of enterprise HCIT

vendors

And is not cross-application or cross-enterprise

Enterprise-level BI solutions in healthcare are scarce

Enterprise software vendors (McKesson, Siemens, Cerner,
GE, Eclipsys, Epic)

Offer data warehouses and OLAP tools specific to their applications

But are not an effective enterprise solution, particularly for revenue cycle

Offer tools to create BI/EPM solutions but must be custom-developed

Are costly to implement and maintain most hospitals & physicians cant
afford them

The healthcare business intelligence /

EPM landscape
Pure healthcare BI companies (limited number - Avega,
Precision.BI, MedeAnalytics, Craneware, Advisory Board,
Premier, Thompson Reuters, Healthcare Management
Council, CareMedic)

Provide subscription-based solutions

But technology is not leading edge

They are usually retrospective reporting and benchmarking services

Rather than EPM

The industry still lacks an affordable healthcare-specific

EPM solution that can be easily implemented

Key Problems Inefficiency & lack of

visibility
Limited Capacity Intelligence
Assignment &
Transfer Delays

My surgeries are being

canceled for want of an
inpatient bed

My housekeeping staff finds out

about discharged patients by
checking a handwritten log.

Delayed Discharges
Unmonitored bed turnaround
Delayed visibility of empty beds
Unseen capacity
Transport delays
Equipment/pharmacy req
Test results

We are having difficulty in tracking

quality of care. Our CMS scores are
low and we are not getting full
reimbursements

Patients are being sent to other

hospitalswe cant find room

News State of NY cut Medicaid reimbursements to hospitals by 8%. For a mid-size

hospital, this is an impact of about $20M in revenue loss. The only way for hospitals to deal
with this cut is to be more efficient in their services using technologies that make them
address this, cut operational costs & increase productivity

Benefits - Increased Admissions & ROI Gain

for Hospitals
Executive Objectives

CXOs are looking for ways to increase patient throughput

Increasing throughput is increasing the number of admits

at a hospital

Through making processes in the hospital more efficient

Roadmap to improved bed utilization

By optimizing latency between discharge & occupancy

By creating visibility at the time of admissions

By improving the discharge process

Estimated Increased Admissions & Revenue

An average 400 bed hospital can expect the following

benefits
Performance Level
Conservative
Moderate

Saving Just 2 Hours

between discharge to
admission can lead to an
extra capacity of 6 bed
