Hospitals generate valuable data that, when properly analyzed, can help drive improvements that impact revenue, provider performance, patient care, and more. Due to strict guidelines and security concerns around protected health information (PHI), hospitals and health providers are cautious about data sharing. Forming a strong relationship with your hospital partners is key to fostering trust and collaboration regarding data access. It is additionally important to work with an analytics vendor who is experienced in facilitating conversations with hospitals regarding data sharing and access.
