Latest HIMSS Analytics data platform aims strategic planning

HIMSS Analytics has importantly enhanced its product line, shifting away from portal-based spreadsheet analytics in an attempt to give deeper insights to healthcare contributors as they seek success in a period of accountable care and value-based reimbursement.


Following pilot testing in the year 2015, HIMSS Analytics has initiated Logic, an advanced market intelligence and strategic planning device. It is augmented Logic with information visualization devices and an analytics data platform from the San Francisco-based GoodData.


The technologies are being utilized by CIOs and other C-suite members to assess growth in accepting the HIMSS Analytics Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model, a scale that measures an agency’s growth in adopting EHRs technology.


Other capabilities involve enabling healthcare agencies to examine their economical, clinician and patient volumes, the overall organizational footprint, primary services provided, mergers or acquisitions, construction projects, and involvement in accountable care organizations and health data exchanges.


GoodData offers a real data analytics platform, enabling HIMSS Analytics to pre-create dashboards for customers or assist them to design their own dashboards, claims Miranda Ladue, vice president of operations and solutions at HIMSS Analytics.


Dashboards, Ladue adds, enable an agency to look at various pieces of information at one time through pie charts, bar charts and tables, and they can enable filtering of the information to more closely examine particular problems. Now, agencies can benchmark their performance on a broad range of accountable care and value-based reimbursement initiatives, as well as observe performance of their vendors and competitors, Ladue claims.


For example, sales and marketing groups can acquire market intelligence by observing which technologies competitors are purchasing or replacing; which vendor products and services are being utilized for what purposes; which agencies are planning mergers/acquisitions or construction projects; and better understanding an agency’s delivery system practices, demographics, prices and key metrics.
