Evolving Health Care with Advanced Analytics Platforms
Expectations of health care analytics platforms have evolved considerably over the past several years for both start-ups and mature organizations. There is a growing need to accelerate the speed at which data is ready and available for business case development. Today’s fast moving, competitive environment calls for the ability to launch new initiatives quickly and be prepared to react proactively to rapidly changing market conditions.
Achieving Health Equity – August 2022
Achieving Health Equity – The focus has shifted to health payers and providers for solutions
U.S. public policy emphasis on Health Equity has been building for years. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and associated calls to action have now shifted attention to all parts of the health care system for potential solutions. The pandemic had a significant impact on the U.S. health and human services landscape, and inequities within the health care system propelled to the spotlight.
Lack of diversity in clinical trials isn’t just a recruiting problem—it’s a data problem
Leveraging the right data infrastructure and analytics can greatly improve healthcare processes. For example, though clinical trials have several obstacles to overcoming a lack of diversity, modernizing the data infrastructure and analytics is one of the most impactful improvements for such aspects as identifying the right patients to recruit. Modernizing also accommodates other improvements, such as:
- Identification of health inequity
- Root causes of disparity
As clinical trials are required to improve and pivot, so too is the way of wrangling the underlying diverse data streams and managing that data to present insights for better decision making in that recruitment process. DataWELL’s analytics and data platform are built for just that purpose, to support healthcare companies’ needs of:
- Speed of development
- Data management
- Leveraging one source of truth
- Timely data insights
“To achieve diversity goals in research requires a multifaceted approach that makes clinical trial participation easier and uses analytics to help identify the right patients to recruit for a clinical trial.” – Raj Indupuri (via MedCityNews.com)

Planning for Payer Health Data
Healthcare’s continued transformation is driving further focus on utilizing a patient-centric approach. This approach requires a complete understanding of patient behaviors, needs, preferences, and outcomes. Payer health data is invaluable to unlocking essential insights into these patient aspects.
As you prepare initiatives using health payer data, several practical realities can stretch resources and timeframes beyond the initial plan. Having an awareness of the possible pitfalls will assists with setting more realistic expectations and may make a compelling case for seeking consultative services from experts with a solid track record in navigating these pitfalls.
CASE STUDY: Improving Patient Care Outcomes
The Healthcare industry is filled with opportunity, with many organizations having the ideal problem of growing too quickly. We are frequently asked by our clients to conduct scalability assessments and suggest prioritized roadmaps supporting rapid growth agendas. As part of that work, we have found several common themes along with some unique considerations relative to growth generated via innovation (“new and different”) versus market and business expansion with current offerings (“bigger and better”).
