The document discusses the future of data and the need to move from simply collecting data to utilizing high-value data. It notes that the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted issues with timely access to the right data. Key learnings include: improving data acquisition, breaking down data silos, and improving user trust in data. The vision is outlined as moving from static to fast-acquiring data, siloed to integrated data, and untrusted to a single source of truth. Important assumptions driving product directions are also discussed, focusing on healthcare data being a critical asset and analytics converting data into insights.
5. Just In Time Is No Longer Good Enough
Access to the right data at the right time is an issue for healthcare. Over the last eighteen months
Covid-19 has increased visibility to the issue of high-value data for decision making.
• Data acquisition takes too long
• A lack of common definitions makes sharing insights a challenge
• Integrating data is a challenge outside of a common data model
• Poor data quality impacts the readiness of data
The data challenges are not limited to the response to Covid-19, and are surfaced in several other
use cases
• Population health and the shift from fee-for-service to value-based care
• Moving from inpatient focused analytics to the inclusion of outpatient insights
• Increasing merger and acquisition activity in the industry
6. Improve Data Acquisition
Static data provides some reporting value, but to unlock high-value data it needs to be
readily available .
• Changing care models necessitating a variety of data sources
• Growing security concerns from granting access across systems
• Complex reporting needs bogging down a system
• Integrating data through report creation creating redundant work
6
Static data to fast acquisition
7. Breaking Down Data Silos
Siloed data that has been collocated in a single system provides some insight, but to unlock
high-value data it needs to be integrated
• Limited view of the patient or member through a single system
• A single patient may come across as multiple patients when viewing siloed systems
• Layering in labor, revenue cycle, supply chain data, etc. can provide additional value
• A lack of a common data model can make report creation a challenge across similar
source systems

Siloed data to integrated data
8. Improve User Trust In Data
Data that has been collocated into a single system and integrated can provide a great
starting point, but to unlock high-value data you need to ensure the overall quality
• Data that is not fit for purpose provides little value
• Generated reports, insights, and metrics will get little traction without trust in the
underlying data
• Transparency into the transformation and quality process is a must to promote trust
8
Untrusted data to a single source of truth

19. FHIR and Interoperability Standards
Expanded DOS Marts provide the foundation for true analytic and transactional interoperability
of data via an expanded data model and deep commitment to scalable terminology normalization
• First phase supports CPCDS regulations that go into place July 1
• The next phase of DOS FHIR enhancements will add support for USCDI elements

23. Standard Process: Acquisition
• Data acquisition starts at the source and ends when Health Catalyst delivers integrated,
reusable, scalable data asset
• Health Catalyst has a growing library of 350 data source connectors and data quality
checks for its healthcare data model
• Health Catalyst stood up a data specific business unit in early 2021
• Consolidated all functions of the data pipeline into a single team
• Data acquisition includes a variety of different strategies
• Direct database connections
• Flat file ingestion
• Streaming data ingestion
• HIE data ingestion
23
24. Standard Process: Standardization
• Terminology standardization uses a common code set to
create standard reference content
• Applies standard sets and attributes (ICD, CPT, MS-
DRG, etc.)
• Allows for the grouping of codes (Health Catalyst
Clinical Improvement Hierarchy, Value Sets)
• Makes interoperability, standardization, and
governance easier to achieve
• Leverages publicly available and standard content
classification
• Develops data standards that create consistency in the
data set
• Health Catalyst has developed additional Terminology
tooling to aid in value set creation
• Automated terminology mapping/Map Manager
• Value Set Builder
24
25. Standard Process: Integration
• The integration of data allows the blending of data from multiple sources of a similar
grain and type
• Empowers identity resolution (Master Data Management)
– Use deterministic matching to merge, cleanse, and standardize data to create a
more comprehensive view of a patient or provider
• Increases the breadth and depth of insight that can be generated
• Allows for more automated measure creation across numerous programs
25
26. Standard Process: Data Quality Framework
• Data quality is key to fostering a sense of trust in your organization’s data and analytic
insights
• Missing or incorrect data can:
• Remain hidden until your team has headed in the wrong direction
• Take weeks or months to track down the source and fix
• Consume resources and delay progress
• Destroy trust in your organization’s analytic insights
