Metadata management in clinical R&D is centered on the concept that each piece of data collected for a clinical trial, as defined by that trial’s protocol, can be managed independently. Each piece of metadata and logical groupings of many metadata items together can be governed and managed in the organization. This includes version control, data edit rules for that data item, and transformation rules for that data item as it changes to support the analysis process. In...

As the Population Health Strategist for Oracle Health Science (OHS), I enjoy the ability to continue my educational quest for healthcare knowledge. Between reading the Federal Register and House bills, catching up with CSPAN, and keeping upwith my friends from industry, I am amazed at the number and variety of population health applications currently available. When I first started 20 years ago, the concept of “population health “ was something closer to evidence based...

Healthcare payment reform is shifting again. At the rate of tectonic plates over the last 60 years, there have been several milestones that have utterly transformed the face of reimbursement. Diagnosis related Group (DRG) reimbursement, Managed Care capitation, and now the Medicare Access & CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA). MACRA will be a tsunami for Medicare reimbursement. With the Alternative Payment Model (APM) or the Merit based Incentive Program System (MIPS),...

It will also drive the future of healthcare delivery. Though recent technology advances have generated many new systems and a wide variety of ever-increasing amounts of data, availability and access to the data has dropped at the same, alarming rate. Consolidation within the...

Healthcare delivery reform is not new. The 1960s saw the creation of Medicare. The 1970s and 1980s saw an attempt at managed care. As of 2010, we’ve had a state by state adoption of the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment Program (DSRIP). Texas (TX), California (CA), and New York (NY) are the big states overhauling their Medicaid delivery by infusing primary care, behavioral health, and pediatric services into high risk communities to reduce avoidable hospitalizations...
