  Using Business Intelligence to Bridge Critical Information Gaps in Healthcare
  
  

  
  

  
  As the evolution and adoption of healthcare IT systems continues to accelerate, fueled by the incentives of the federal HITECH act, the resulting increases in volume, scope and quality of healthcare information will present both challenges and opportunities.
  
  The opportunities include: improving visibility into population health, better assessing the effectiveness of practices and products, and identifying optimal levels of personnel productivity.
  
  Among the primary challenges, however, is the need to combine information from across myriad systems and among organizations to create useful perspectives into information.
  
  Business intelligence technology has evolved to help close these information gaps.
  
  This session will explore examples of how healthcare organizations have improved both their visibility into information as well as their organizational responsiveness though the use of business intelligence technology.
  
  Speaker:
  

  • George Dealy, Vice President Business Development

  Using Malpractice Data to Raise Risk Intelligence
  
  

  
  

  CRICO/RMF has been the medical malpractice company owned by and serving the Harvard medical community since 1976. Our data-driven approach to claims management and patient safety is the outcome of years of service to our members and our national base of clients affiliated with RMF Strategies.
  
  The foundation of our risk intelligence service is a proprietary clinical coding taxonomy that captures clinical elements embedded in professional liability cases and allows for detailed data analysis. These data elements are analyzed in our Comprehensive Risk Intelligence Tool (CRIT), which was deployed in early 2010 and enables us to efficiently mine our data for specific questions and overall trends. 
  
  The insight gained through the use of this tool and our taxonomy, provides clear evidence to drive patient safety initiatives in several clinical dimensions such as surgery, obstetrics, and diagnostic failure.
