Picture this: A doctor is poised to make a life-saving decision. He reaches for his patient’s records, only to find a jumble of contradictory information. Welcome to the world of “dirty healthcare data” —a $300 billion problem that’s more than just a financial headache. It’s a digital monster threatening the very core of patient care.
The Data Swamp
Imagine 1,300 medical databases, each a potential quicksand pit of misinformation. Now, throw in another 85,000 government repositories for good measure. That’s the maze our healthcare heroes navigate daily. It’s like finding a specific fish in an ocean of red herrings.
This isn’t just about numbers on a spreadsheet. We’re talking about real lives hanging in the balance:
- The “Oops, Wrong Patient” Scenario: When dirty data leads to mix-ups, it’s not just embarrassing – it’s dangerous.
- The “Needle in a Haystack” Research Dilemma: Scientists drowning in bad data, potentially missing the next big medical breakthrough.
- The “Office Space” Nightmare: Healthcare staff playing detective with duplicate records, wasting precious time that could be spent on actual care.
- The “Race Against Time” Drama: Critical information buried deep in the data muck while every second counts for a patient in need.
Persivia CareSpace® and the Power of Data-Driven Care
But fear not! Like a team of digital superheroes, Persivia’s CareSpace® platform swoops in to save the day. Their mission? To transform the healthcare data swamp into a crystal-clear lake of information.
Persivia CareSpace® is a cutting-edge healthcare data aggregation solution that leverages the latest data lakehouse technology and incorporates the industry’s richest, broadest, and most comprehensive Unified Data Model (UDM). This advanced architecture provides an analytics portal and ad-hoc data exploration capabilities and adds data science and machine learning capabilities, enabling the deployment of real-time insights into operations.
Unified Data Model (UDM)
Persivia’s industry-leading UDM uses batch and real-time processing to support clinical workflows and analytics. The data model covers all sources, including EHRs, Clinical, Claims, SDOH, HIEs/ADT, Patient-Reported, Home Device, and administrative data.
Data Lakehouse
Persivia’s data lakehouse combines the flexibility of a data lake with the production optimization and delivery of a data warehouse. It provides a data pipeline that starts with raw, unrefined data, goes through a sophisticated data refining and curation process, and ultimately delivers optimized data for consumption.
Advanced Data Curation
Persivia generates a single dynamic Longitudinal Patient Record (LPR) after processing the data through its Natural Language Processor, semantic normalization engine, and eMPI. The LPR then flows into Persivia’s AI engine, which appends descriptive and prescriptive insights, such as eligibility for different programs, alerts, care gaps, automated tasks, goals, HCC codes, and machine learning-based predictive cost and risk stratification models.
Right Set of Data for All Needs
The actionable, insight-driven patient record is ready for use in different clinical applications, such as care coordination, quality, cost/utilization analytics, and more.
Conclusion: The Healthcare Data Renaissance
Imagine a world where doctors can trust every byte of information at their fingertips, researchers can dive into clean data pools and emerge with groundbreaking discoveries, and healthcare staff can focus on caring, not data-wrangling.
So, the next time you hear about “big data” in healthcare, remember: It’s not about how much data we have. It’s about how squeaky clean and crystal clear that data is. Because, in the end, clear data doesn’t just save money—it saves lives.
As a leader in population health management, Persivia plays a crucial role in advancing value-based care through its CareSpace® platform. By integrating disparate data sources and providing real-time insights, Persivia enables healthcare organizations to deliver personalized, equitable care. The platform’s capabilities not only enhance operational efficiency but also drive improvements in patient outcomes, making Persivia an essential partner in the healthcare landscape. Through its innovative solutions, Persivia is committed to transforming the healthcare data swamp into a clear, actionable lake of information, ultimately benefiting providers and patients alike.
