six ways an edw can fail
DESCRIPTION
Join Steven C. Barlow, co-founder and Senior Vice President of Health Catalyst for a discussion on what works and what doesn’t in creating a healthcare enterprise data warehouse. During the session Steve will share his experiences and identify six missteps that many failed projects have in common. Topics include: How to identify your financial and clinical needs and how a healthcare data warehouse can address them. The importance of executive sponsorship and engagement throughout the process. The critical need to create multidisciplinary, frontline teams—comprised of clinicians, technologists, analysts and quality personnel—in the design and deployment process. How to avoid the “Boil-the-Ocean” syndrome that results when incorporating 100% of available data in favor of a prioritized approach that gradually improves quality and cost. A pragmatic approach to creating the ideal healthcare data warehouse by using data already available. How “perfect governance” becomes the enemy of progress. The goal in creating a healthcare enterprise data warehouse is to organize complex data from dozens of places into a single source of truth that makes it possible for an organization to prioritize, implement, and measure improvement areas to cut waste, reduce costs and vastly improve how it delivers care. The opportunities to improve quality and reduce costs require a solid data warehousing and analytics strategy. Success requires a healthcare data architecture that adapts to volatile clinical data complexity as well as clinical know-how to organize teams and processes around the data.TRANSCRIPT

Finding the Single Source of Truth…
• Goal: Organize complex data from dozens of places into a single source of truth…to cut waste, reduce costs, and vastly improve care delivery.
Not as easy as it seems…
• Failure rates of data warehouses is high• Gartner estimates ~50% have limited
acceptance or fail entirely
• Risk investing in a solution that may never launch or data that will not be accessed or utilized
• What makes the difference between success and failure?

Six Common Missteps

If You Build It, They Will Come…
• Solid business case is imperative
• Understand WHY the data are needed and HOW they will be used
• “Competitor x just deployed an EDW…we need one too”
• Involvement of business and clinical teams in defining expectations is critical

Continual Commitment Required• On-going executive sponsorship and engagement
is key to success
• Frontline clinical and business staff must see tangible leadership support
• Establishment of governing body comprised of senior leadership from across the organization (Clinical, Finance, Quality, Strategy, Administration)
• Steer the project from conception through deployment
• Set clear priorities at the outset
• Fully engaged in budgeting, selecting technical team, outside vendors, partners, etc.

The Needs of the Information Consumer• Involvement of clinicians, technologists,
analysts, and quality personnel in development and deployment of EDW strategy
• Best understanding of information needs and processes
• Ensure solution meets day-to-day and long-term requirements
• Put insights gleaned from data in to action

• Identifying every possible piece of data…just in case
• Slows delivery of truly valuable information to drive change
• Avoid “data obesity”
• Choose one clinical area of focus and gradually improve quality & cost

• Bottoms-up approach to analytics planning…identifying data requirements for every possible occurrence
• Fail to consider resources required to obtain information
• Deliberate and systematic review of current data collection channels (financial systems, EHR, etc.)
• Build upon current data set, adding new information as feasible

Encouraging more, not less, data access
Increasing data contentin the EDW
Campaigning fordata literacy Resolving analytic priorities
Enhancing data quality Establishing standards for Master Reference Data
• “I need to have all the answers before I can start.”
• Priority & Data Governance
• Implement further along in the development cycle when data are available
• First get data to govern then keep governance simple to start
• Data stewardship
Observation: there is a lot of hype surrounding data governance
“Perfect Enough”
