Patients and Big Data in Healthcare: Deriving Value and Accelerating Innovation
Nov 11 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
CURE and Yale, in collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim, presents “Patients and Big Data in Healthcare: Deriving Value and Accelerating Innovation.” In an increasingly digital age, healthcare stakeholders can access significant amounts of data and knowledge using various platforms. Critically, this “big data,” represents a vast quantity of complex and diverse information. While payers, providers, healthcare experts and the pharmaceutical industry have the capability to analyze this data to gain insight, this information can be overwhelming to patients. This BioHaven event, moderated by Richard Foster, has convened a panel of experts to explore the topic of “big data,” the role of the patient in data analytics, the role of payers and what actionable data represents. Further discussion will explore the state of the art, including discussing national hospital systems using big data and local ones in CT and at Yale. Finally, the discussion will conclude with discussion about effectively incorporating big data into operations and where the field is headed.
Special kudos to my valued colleague Faye Lindsay, who was instrumental in pulling this event together!
Some of the topics the moderator and panelists will consider:
Defining and Exploring the topic
- Tell us what “big data” means to you and why it is important. Give us one example which illustrates the best use of big data to date.
- What is the role of the patient in data analytics? Does it benefit them? Do they naturally do it? How error prone are the data they provide directly?
- What is the role of the payer in all of this. Can they get the data they need to better set rates? Will “big data” help or hurt the payers?
- What is actionable data? What are the three major areas where we are making progress?
State of the Art
- Where is the best state of the art in using data to improve outcomes in the US? How do we know that is true?
- What hospital systems or MCOs are most advanced?
- How are we doing in CT compared to other states? How do we know?
- What is the state of the art in healthcare info tech/big data in the US. Where? Why? What do we need to do to catch up?
Unanticipated Consequences
- Will all this measurement result in intense, and from time time, unproductive rivalries between docs, or hospital systems?
- How can the providers use “big data” and not put at risk the effectiveness of current medical care delivery processes which have takes years to define and perfect?
Specific Subtopics
- Big Data and the bottom 5%
- We know we spend $1.35 T on 5% of the population. Do we know who they are and how we can best treat them. How much can we expect to reduce the cost, or improve the quality of the health care delivered to these patients?
- Big Data and Quality
- Integrating Big Data into Operations, effectively
What is coming?
- Who is controlling the pace of advance in Big Data these days – Academia (who), the Payers (who?), the providers (who?) the Feds (who and who in HHS/CMS?) What about the role of the National Cancer Hospitals. Or other specialized (by disease/condition) providers (e.g. DaVita)
