The Chartis Group’s Mary Jo Morrison shares her perspectives on the gaps around data analytics work
Industry observers agree: the leveraging of data analytics is in an early and frankly, rather challenging, phase in U.S. healthcare. The leaders of patient care organizations that are plunging into the development of accountable care organizations (ACOs), other risk-based types of contracting, and every form of population health and care management, are beginning to work through myriad obstacles to try to achieve success.
And success in such contracting and population-based work inevitably requires excellent data analytics. But, as patient care leaders are learning, marrying clinical data, including from electronic records (EHRs), with claims-based data, is turning out to be far more complex and challenging than many imagined.
Not surprisingly, patient care leaders are turning en masse to expert consultants to help them sort through the issues and plow ahead. Among the legion of consultants working with healthcare leaders is Mary Jo Morrison, a principal in The Chartis Group, a Chicago-based consulting firm. Morrison, who is based in Minneapolis, has spent more than two decades participating in analytics work, operational improvement, and strategic improvement, in patient care organizations. Most recently, Morrison served as vice president of performance measures at Allina Health in Minneapolis. In that role, she identified opportunities for clinical and operational improvement through data analytics and data mining. She joined The Chartis Group in June. For the full article click here
