Clinical Business Intelligence Network Announces Newest Member
Appleton, Wis. (PRWEB) August 28, 2014 -- The Clinical Business Intelligence Network (CBIN) is pleased to announce its newest member: the Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) in Palo Alto, California.
The network, a peer-to-peer learning community, brings together healthcare leaders in performance improvement, clinical analytics, business intelligence and IT. Members have multiple opportunities throughout the year to learn, share and connect with each other at organized events. This collaboration accelerates the spread of clinical business intelligence by helping members realize greater value from their data and by supporting the performance improvement journeys of their organizations.
“Clinical business intelligence is a cornerstone to transformation of the larger healthcare system,” said Julie Bartels, executive vice president of National Health Information for the ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value, which facilitates CBIN. “It allows healthcare systems to accurately access current performance and recognize where improvement opportunities exist.”
CBIN members accelerate their clinical business intelligence journeys and deliver value to their organizations on a greater scale and faster than going it alone.
“Like many healthcare organizations, we need to evolve our analytic community to support the needs of our patients and our organization,” said PAMF Chief Operations Officer Michael Erikson. “For patients, we must increase our ability to provide meaningful data and information, and help them make clear choices about their own healthcare needs. Powerful analytics also will be critical in guiding our organization to make relevant and strategic choices to advance our mission. We are excited to be a part of other learning organizations who are on similar journeys,” he said.
