Summary
How Big Data Can Influence Community Chronic Care Patients: Insights from Dr. Mark Snowise and Dr. Robert Budman
In a recent episode, Dr. Mark Snowise, CMIO at Berkshire Health Systems, and Dr. Robert Budman, CMIO at Nuance Communications, discussed the role of big data in healthcare. They touched on the importance of accurate physician documentation and how computer-assisted technology is helping clinicians, as well as shared insights on CAPD and outpatient CDI.
What is Healthcare Big Data?
Dr. Snowise and Dr. Budman defined big data in healthcare as comprising of notes, labs, reports, meds, and even claims data that need to be read and re-documented every calendar year. This process is made easier with the help of natural language processing and artificial intelligence. With the growth of value-based care and outpatient CDI, physicians need to leverage guidance in order to make an impact in patient care.
The Impact of AI-Based Computer-Assisted Physician Documentation Technology
The use of AI-based computer-assisted physician documentation (C A P D) technology can enhance the accuracy of documentation while also easing the cognitive burden on clinicians. C A P D is a computer program that improves documentation completeness and captures more important details for coding, quality, payment, and better patient care. This technology allows physicians to spend more time with their patients and translates conversations into meaningful notes, ultimately improving efficiency and access to care.
Outpatient CDI and Its Role in Narrowing Down Options for Busy Physicians
Clinicians are often faced with limited time and resources in a busy outpatient setting. Outpatient CDI assists with narrowing down options for busy physicians and educates them on accurately representing the severity of illness in their patient population. This, in turn, leads to better patient outcomes and more effective chronic care management.
