CSD1 - Building a Data Strategy for Value-Based Care, Health Center and Health Center Controlled Network Perspectives

Session Description: The shift toward value based care models makes health centers and health center controlled networks responsible for a much broader set of events in their patients’ lives, many of which take place outside of the health center. Success in this environment demands health centers build strategies that allow them to leverage new streams of data to drive their quality and population health programs, and overcome technical and organizational barriers to doing so. By delving into the experiences of health centers navigating this transition, this workshop will provide practical examples of how health centers can access, integrate, and use these new data streams effectively to improve care.

Participants in this workshop will gain insights into gaining access to critical data streams from payers, information exchanges and other partners. We’ll address a wide range of data sources, from patient rosters, hospitalizations, and claims, to pharmacy fill data. We’ll also discuss approaches to the challenges of cleaning, normalizing, matching, and integrating those data streams to create a singular unified view of data at the health center. Finally, we’ll discuss the use cases that make the effort worthwhile–incorporating this information into critical workflows like direct patient outreach, panel management, risk stratification, and visit planning.
