Value-based and accountable care organizations rely on accurate data, analysis and reporting to provide the critical information the organization needs to understand how it’s providers are performing to meet risk-based contract agreements. The extreme challenge is how difficult it is to accurately capture and report on the numerous and disparate performance metrics individual to each risk-contract across commercial, Medicare and Medicaid markets. The lack of standardization across payers is further complicated by a lack of standardization across EHR vendor systems and quality measures for the healthcare industry overall. This is layered on top of the foundational challenge that much of the information health care organizations collect and store for data analysis is incomplete or imprecise.
 
In this session, Bill Gillis, Chief Information Officer of Beth Israel Deaconess Care Organization, will share how the organization has achieved exceptional performance in risk-arrangements from their many years of data quality initiatives and present a blueprint to help other organizations overcome interoperability and quality challenges to successfully meet increasingly complex quality requirements.
