PROJECT SUMMARY:
Shared Data Governance Model
SERVICES
TECHNOLOGY
OVERVIEW:
We helped Salinas Valley Health, Montage Health, and Aspire Health launch a shared data governance initiative. By aligning on critical data governance elements, these leading regional health systems enhance their existing programs for secure data exchange and collaboration. These programs are actively reducing operational costs and improving patient outcomes across the participating organizations.
THE CHALLENGE:
Before the collaboration, each healthcare entity managed its data in silos, leading to duplicated efforts, inconsistencies in data handling, and barriers to efficient data sharing. This siloed approach resulted in higher operational costs and hindered the ability to provide coordinated care, directly impacting patient outcomes.
THE SOLUTION:
Kleer Healthcare played a pivotal role in addressing these challenges through the following actions:
Facilitating Agreement on Common Data Standards: We orchestrated discussions among the healthcare entities to agree on common data standards and definitions. Their expertise ensured the standardization process was smooth, facilitating accurate data sharing and analysis.
Designing and Implementing Shared Data Stewardship: We helped establish a cross-organizational team of data stewards to oversee data quality, privacy, and security. They provided training and frameworks to enable this team to work collaboratively to enforce data governance policies and resolve data-related issues efficiently.
Developing Secure Data Sharing Mechanisms: With technical know-how, we were instrumental in developing secure and efficient data exchange platforms. These platforms streamlined the process of sharing patient information, enabling healthcare providers to access comprehensive patient records and improve the decision-making process.
Prioritizing Projects for Patient Outcomes and Cost Reduction: We guided the healthcare entities in identifying and prioritizing projects that would have a direct impact on improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. They facilitated the integration of initiatives such as shared clinical pathways and joint population health management programs into the data governance framework.
RESULTS:
The shared data governance initiative has led to significant improvements in patient care coordination and cost efficiencies. By breaking down data silos, these entities have enhanced their ability to analyze and act upon shared data. Early results include a decrease in redundant diagnostic tests, more personalized patient care plans, and overall improved patient satisfaction. Moreover, Kleer Data's involvement has fostered a culture of innovation and continuous improvement in managing healthcare data.
CONCLUSION:
The partnership between Salinas Valley Health, Montage Health, Aspire Health, and Kleer Healthcare serves as a pioneering model for collaborative data governance in the healthcare sector.
By focusing on shared goals of improving patient outcomes and reducing costs, and with Kleer Healthcare's strategic guidance, these entities demonstrate the substantial benefits of a unified approach to data management. This case study underscores the potential of collaborative data governance to transform healthcare delivery through enhanced data sharing and strategic decision-making.
