How Health Systems Can Transform Fragmented Data Into a Unified Patient Experience

Envision an immense timepiece where each cog ensures precise timekeeping. Yet, if one breaks, the clock halts, rendering it useless. Similarly, healthcare confronts a parallel risk, grappling with disjointed IT systems and data silos. Neglecting this issue could trigger severe consequences, undermining systems prematurely.

Surveying health executives, 63% endorse provider data ownership for enhanced care coordination. However, a mere 18% boast a dedicated data governance unit. The ramifications of ungoverned data are substantial: Duplicate medical records incur hefty expenses, around $1950 per inpatient stay and over $800 per ED visit.

Presently, healthcare forfeits opportunities for proactive patient engagement, adversely affecting experience, care, prevention, and finances. As digital transformation speeds forth, addressing data mismanagement is imperative to avert future complications.
