Hospitals and integrated delivery systems are spending massive amounts of resources to implement complex electronic health record (EHR) systems, yet  many hospital administrators and clinical leaders are increasingly frustrated as they find that EHR systems don’t provide them the analytical tools they need to generate actionable insights from the rich data that is locked away in the EHR system.   ACOs and hospitals across the spectrum are scrambling to find tools that enable them to identify patterns in high-risk patient populations and clinical practice so they can make the adjustments necessary in light of Medicare payment reforms.
 
A growing number of researchers and institutions are turning to patient registries as a way to access and analyze patient data locked away in EHRs and other clinical information systems.  
 
Attendees of this educational webinar will learn the following:
  • What is a patient registry? How can it help generate actionable insights from clinical data?
  • How is a patient registry different than a data warehouse or a data mart? Why should I have a research data repository and an EDW?
  • What is a registry of patient registries and how can it benefit my institution? 
  • Why is cross-disease research and cross-specialty analytics important?
