Beyond the noise: Where claims data science meets interpretation
About the webinar
Healthcare provider organizations widely acknowledge the critical role of analytics on healthcare reference, affiliation, and real-world market insights. Yet only 42% say they have the data and insights they need. Effectively harnessing data’s potential requires overcoming challenges around accuracy, completeness, and interpretation.
In this webinar, we’re joined by experts from UCLA Health to explore the universal roadblocks everyone faces when working with provider, location, and claims data. In under an hour, you’ll learn how to unlock the value of your claims data analyses and identify the solutions for overcoming common claims challenges.
In this session we will:
- Share strategies for keeping provider directories accurate and complete
- Discuss techniques for handling inconsistencies and variability in claims data
- Cover how to separate the truth from irrelevant or misleading referral analytics
