Analytics article in latest HDM

Health Data Management magazine has an excellent article on Business Intelligence within physician offices. With government money pushing physicians to adopt EHR’s that deliver “meaningful use”, the healthcare industry is still trying to define what that use will be. In the article, Jerry Osheroff, M.D., who chairs the HIMSS Clinical Decision Support Workgroup, says their group broadened the definition to: “intelligently filtered patient data that helps inform decisions that lead to better outcomes.”

GAMA Health Technology helps physicians and clinic administrators design and implement Business Intelligence systems to filter and analyze patient data for their clinic’s specific needs. If your current practice management software or EHR is not delivering the analytics you need, contact us today for a free 2 hour information system review and planning session.

Exciting Data Systems?

After I built my first project, the head of a medical department screamed “This is orgasmic! I’ve waited years for this.”

Since 1998, I have helped business users turn piles of data into useful information. In the IT industry this is called ‘data-warehousing’ or ‘business intelligence’. To business users, it is just common sense access to their business data.

After that first project, I spent nine years designing and building reporting and analysis systems in medical industry. I have spent just over a year in the insurance industry, working on a team to build solutions for a 22 state insurance company. This project is built on Microsoft SQL Server database and Cognos 8 reporting and analysis system.

Not every solution will be ‘orgasmic’ but it will provide access to make your business data relevant and meaningful.
