Patient Journey: Data, Methods and Applications to Drive More Effective Analytics

In today’s continually evolving healthcare marketplace, life sciences companies, providers and other stakeholders are constantly challenged to find novel methods to understand the markets in which they compete and demonstrate the value their products deliver to stakeholders. Health care is complex, and developing an understanding of how patients navigate the health care system is an important foundational element to demonstrating value and maximizing the potential of your unique treatment or service. Are you currently focused on patient journey analytics? Are you looking to gain efficiency in developing and implementing insights?

In order to get the most out of patient journey analytics, users need to ensure the analysis includes the right content, format and analytic constructs to address the questions being posed by the business. Many patient journey analyses don’t live up to their potential because they lack essential data, use a one-size-fits-all format or ignore best practices for making them an effective analytic tool.

To develop a successful patient journey analysis that drives critical insight and understanding in any market, users must consider the following:

• What data is needed to achieve the objectives and where can it be obtained?
• How can I integrate multiple sources of data for the most comprehensive understanding?
• What analytic capabilities do I need to develop a patient journey?
• What methods/applications enable the most efficient means of completing a patient journey?
• When does it make sense to build my own versus buy access?

This Optum patient journey webinar will provide you with insight into the fundamental decision making required to appropriately plan for developing a patient journey analysis. Featured speakers will discuss potential data sources, tips for successful planning, techniques to reduce data and analytic complexity, how to choose between insourcing versus outsourcing, and differences between custom versus application to maximize the efficiency of your analysis.
