Synopsis: MRO explores the important role clinical data plays for hospitals and health systems navigating shifts toward outpatient care, discusses the need for seamless data exchange across care settings, presents market analytics data to demonstrate how clinical data can be used to identify patterns in site-of-care shifts, and shares considerations for hospital leaders as they prepare for the changes ahead.
Details:
Outpatient care has skyrocketed in recent years—and is expected to grow still higher in the next decade. As hospitals and health systems navigate shifts toward outpatient care, clinical data is especially valuable. This data holds the key to understanding what types of care patients are seeking externally and determining suitable care settings for patients.
This white paper discusses key drivers of site-of-care shifts, potential impacts, and the important role clinical data plays throughout these changes, from the vital need for facilitating timely data exchange to guiding strategic decision-making with analytics. It presents market analytics data to demonstrate how clinical data can be used to identify patterns in site-of-care shifts. This paper also shares considerations for hospital leaders as they prepare for the changes ahead.
By drawing insights from their data, hospital leaders will be better equipped to ensure patients receive quality care in the setting that best fits their needs.
This article is for:
- Healthcare professionals interested in understanding the drivers of site-of-care shifts.
- Hospital leaders looking for ways to use clinical data to identify shift patterns in service lines and patient activity.
