Harnessing Healthcare Data 

Medicine and medical science are essential to supporting each patient in their unique healthcare journey. However, certain healthcare pathways — such as those that require time-consuming treatments — can be risky and costly.

This is when data can provide imperative insights. By using remote patient monitoring programs to gather timely patient data, compile trends, identify outliers and compare them to population data, providers can access important information that enables them to customize treatment plans and provide the right care at the right time.

Medtronic Care Management Services clinical leads Nycole Hansen, M.S.N., R.N.-B.C., and Molly Kellgren, Ph.D., R.N., demonstrate how data can provide insights throughout the patient care continuum. Access to meaningful data that facilitates early intervention may help prevent potentially unnecessary pathways while supporting appropriate utilization of healthcare. This provides value from both a quality-of-care and cost perspective.
