Heeding Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates, they are instituting electronic health records (EHRs) and using analytics derived insights to improve short-term outcomes, such as decreased hospital admissions and complications.

Moving up the D&A maturity ladder in this new era of payment reform requires organizations to become data driven cultures and use data to gain a holistic picture of patients’ healthcare touch points.
