Abstract:
Hospitals and health systems have an important opportunity, today, to use clinical, financial, administrative, and self-reported data to improve health outcomes, reduce medical errors, predict health trends, and demonstrate the comparative value of drugs and treatments. Such secondary use of data requires that the data be standardized to be effective. Danville, Pa.-based Geisinger Health System is an example of a larger healthcare organization that is pursuing a commercial venture to effectively use its vast data resources for research and other purposes in the larger healthcare marketplace.
