Just over half of CIOs would rate their hospital's data analytics program a seven or higher on a scale of one to 10, while about a quarter scored their programs a four or lower, according to a recent survey from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Health Care.
Sixty-eight healthcare executives responded to the survey. Ninety-eight percent of respondents worked in data governance roles such as senior management, CIO and C-suite.
The survey revealed the top five reasons CIOs are not using data to improve care:
- Data governance
- Limited budgets
- Limited technology/integration challenges
- Data reliability
- Institutional vision
Here is how respondents ranked the types of data or components most important for analytics strategies:
- Patient clinical data (94 percent)
- Provider and financial data (84 percent)
- EHR integration (82 percent)
- Data related to clinical efficiencies (69 percent)
