Industry Collabs Using Data to Transform Care


Two separate industry collaborations that utilize deidentified data to improve population health and treatment have been announced this week. 


July 26 - Mayo Clinic and Mercy announced a 10-year partnership focused on using data science and deidentified patient outcomes to determine effective disease prevention and treatment. As part of the collaboration, the two health systems will pull more than a decade’s worth of deidentified clinical data and treatment outcomes from integrated EHRs. Until now, this information was too unstructured and complex to analyze. Learn More


July 28 - Ohio-based Akron Children’s Hospital has launched a strategic, multi-year partnership with data and analytics technology company Health Catalyst to advance population health and improve patient outcomes. Under the collaboration, Akron Children’s is set to implement Health Catalyst’s suite of population health solutions, including a range of data collection and analytics platforms. Health Catalyst will also provide expertise in analytics and population health outcomes improvement via a team of experts at Akron Children’s. Learn More


As these types of collaborations continue to grow, patients everywhere will benefit from better and more efficient care.
