Flawed data: a compounding problem in patient care

As care moves further out into the community, hospitals and health systems must evolve their approach to clinical data management and reinvent capabilities to win loyalty with providers and patients.
A proven path for expansion is to become known for reliability, accuracy, affordability, and patient safety—and that depends on access to key systems, data integrity, and transparency to drive better patient outcomes. But without proper record identification and valid population data, what’s at stake?
  • Patient lives and well-being
  • Litigation costs of settlements for errors
  • Compounding remediation costs of incorrectly merged patient identities
  • Increased identity duplication issues resulting from mergers and acquisitions

The impact of poor data quality is complex and wide-ranging.
