Auburn, CA and Little Rock, AR (PRWEB) May 07, 2014

A new report highlights how extensively health care professionals are using health information technology (HIT) applications, providing unique insight into the ways technology is transforming the industry. The research, sponsored by TCS Healthcare Technologies (TCS) with other leading health care organizations, assesses which software programs are being used, how they are being leveraged, and the types of functionality that are most important in day-to-day operations.

Part of an ongoing series that analyzes the results of the 3rd bi-annual Health IT Survey, the report unveils other significant trends about dashboard functionality, predictive modeling software, stratification and the impact and potential return on investment of HIT systems.

The Health IT Survey, sponsored by TCS, the Case Management Society of America (CMSA), and the American Board of Quality Assurance and Utilization Review Physicians (ABQAURP), was conducted in 2008, 2010 and 2012 to identify primary trends in health IT systems as well as current and emerging software applications.

“With the growth of population health management programs, data analytics and interactive reporting is key to creating actionable information to optimize clinical outcomes,” says Rob Pock, founder and president of TCS Healthcare Technologies. “While this trend report highlights how information technology is changing the way health care professionals view, analyze and manage data, it also showcases the progress that is needed to optimize data analytic functions.”

One of nine reports that analyze the research results, Trend Report #8: Data Analytics & Reporting, identifies several key trends:

Traditional reporting tools such as Excel (39%), Crystal Reports (20%) and Access (17%) remain the most common applications used by respondents. Emerging applications like Tableau still have a much smaller part of the market share.
Use of predictive modeling applications remains limited, with 25% of the respondents indicating use of this kind of tool. Interestingly, 35% of the respondents reported using predictive modeling two years earlier.
Thirty percent of respondents report stratifying health care information based on business rules to promote population-based screening or to identify candidates for case management.
The survey highlights the importance of dashboard and visualization capabilities, with the vast majority of respondents reporting that the following functions are important:

o Ability to manipulate reports and data presented

o Convenient access to and delivery of information (e.g., use on iPad, Android)

o Ability to view trends for individual patients

o Ability to view trends for large sets of data

•Almost half of the respondents (46%) state that they have experienced a positive ROI on their IT investments, in contrast to just a much small group (14%) who reported a negative ROI.

“Technology that supports the exchange of information in health care is changing very rapidly,” says Cheri Lattimer, RN, BSN, CMSA executive director. “We have seen enormous change since this survey series launched in 2008. Data integration will continue to be a top priority as we place emphasis on transitions of care. Collaboration and interoperability will need to be fundamental elements for achieving success in technology growth and creating a seamless experience for the patient.”

According to Joel Brill, MD, “Several survey findings highlight the need for organizations to consider replacing legacy systems with more cost-effective solutions. Cloud hosting, big data, distributed computing, open-source code and related trends reflect the many changes in IT applications that can help organizations to improve care management for patients.”

This is the third time TCS, CMSA and ABQAURP have joined forces to sponsor the bi-annual survey, with the first survey conducted in 2008. By comparing data from all three surveys – 2012, 2010 and 2008 – the series of 2013 Trend Reports points to several emerging patterns in health IT use and perception.

“To the best of our knowledge, this survey represents the most in-depth research looking at the ways care management software systems have been used and modified over the past six years,” says Garry Carneal, JD, MA, president & CEO of Schooner Strategies and research coordinator. “Not only is it surprising to see the forward progress that is being made, but to witness the major health IT solution challenges that medical professionals continue to face.”

Trend Report #1: Introduction & Methodology Overview provides a background on the survey methodology, participants and sampling technique. All of the published Trend Reports can be viewed or downloaded on a complementary basis at http://www.tcshealthcare.com in the Press section, or by visiting http://www.cmsa.org.

Trend Report #9 will be published next month. Those interested in receiving copies of the remaining reports as they become available can sign up in the Trend Reports section of http://www.tcshealthcare.com under the Press tab. The TCS website also contains other valuable resources and information, including links to the webinar series showcasing the results of the survey.

Novetta Entity Analytics is the only end-to-end advanced analytics software with integrated multi-source data integration and entity resolution powering large-scale analytics. Its native Hadoop support simplifies deployment and ensures that organizations get more out of their big data platform technology.

“As organizations adapt Hadoop into the enterprise, they will need to leverage data from disparate sources and to identify unique entities. With qualified Hadoop-based resource skills still scarce in the market, a platform like Novetta’s becomes increasingly important to gain significant ROI on big data investments,” said Sharad Kumar, Big Data Partner at Knowledgent. “Novetta’s security-based history also ensures that they are building platforms that are enterprise-grade from day one.”

“Many organizations are struggling to extract meaningful insight from the tremendous amounts of data available in Hadoop,” said Jim Cushman, President, Commercial and Products Division at Novetta. “Knowledgent’s expertise in data and analytics is the perfect complement to Novetta Entity Analytics and will enhance the value our joint clients get from their data.”
