How more complete, accurate clinical data can improve benefit design
As of 2019, employer-sponsored health plans covered nearly 155 million Americans. No matter how costs trend for employers in the future, it’s clear that providing the right benefits for employees will only become more challenging. As benefit design for enrollment planning is finalized, these statistics point to a critical need for payers to ensure that self-and fully-insured employers have accurate healthcare analytics derived from highest-quality healthcare data.
The Cures Act conundrum — turning expanded data sharing into more effective data usage
The 21st Century Cures Act was designed to give consumers greater access to their own clinical data and further advance interoperability. Yet, while these two goals are laudable, the Act does not make it any easier to get meaningful insights from payer data. This is because so much of the growing mountain of ingested data is unusable that it must be curated and enriched before it can yield anything of value.

The Predicament: Quality Insights from Less Than Quality Data
The volume of available data is high, as are the many systems that store and process that data. Despite the quantity and a plethora of IT tools, organizations are faced with the “now what?” dilemma. There is a growing realization that the answer is not simply more data; rather, ensuring that existing data is accurate, complete, and accessible.
Garbage In, Garbage Out: The High Cost of Managing Healthcare Data Quality
The “garbage in, garbage out” dynamic increases labor and software costs to fix missing, duplicative, or inaccurate data, since poor quality data can hinder decision making.
The Demand for Quality Insights and the Promise of Data Curation Services
The demand for accurate and timely insights from a fractured and siloed health ecosystem, spanning payer, provider, and healthcare organization information infrastructures, has never been greater. New technologies and innovations have proven to be a burden on the healthcare system, including new payment models where patient outcomes are being rewarded more than the quantity of services provided.
