How a Unified Big Data Infrastructure Can Boost Population Health

For organizations seeking to improve their population health management capabilities, big data is a critical part of the journey.

Gathering information from different sources such as claims, medical records, and lab systems can help providers paint a picture of patients' health, target resources to those who need them most, and measure health outcomes.

With the platform, a primary care physician or a specialist can see what the high-risk care management team is doing with a patient, and they can agree or disagree with the changes a care manager might make.

"So, we need a platform that connects us. We need a horizontal platform that connects all of these different verticals that we have across the healthcare landscape, with the express goal of improved outcomes in the populations that we're managing. This will lead to lower costs of care." Said Robert Millette.
