Abstract
How analytics at Hoag Hospital are propelling better care, increased patient satisfaction, at more affordable prices for the communities which it serves.
The current healthcare landscape presents a significant challenge to provider hospitals in the form an aging population, reduced reimbursements, and significant regulatory changes to the insurance market place (Affordable Care Act).
Hoag hospital has been a leading provider of technology enabled Healthcare in Orange County. In addition to automating the vast majority of its hospital operations, it is using analytics as a primary tool for meeting and even excelling within that environment through leveraging its enterprise data assets. Far from being an overnight process, this only became possible through a vision and investments made over the past 3 years to build an advanced analytic platform and recruit a talented BI team.
Key aspects of this program:
Explanations and illustrations of analytic healthcare use cases such as Acute disease management, Patient Flow, Clinical Effectiveness, Surgical Operation optimization, Supply chain optimization, and patient satisfaction.
- The role of data governance process & technology in supporting a robust analytics program.
- How to effectively partner with key groups in the organization.
- An agile method for delivering analytics that minimizes risk and ensures business alignment.
And to conclude, a vision will be shared regarding Hoag’s intent to build upon its current analytic capabilities and extend it to even more complex healthcare issues.

Abstract
Early data warehouses and marts used for business intelligence that targeted senior management reporting were called “decision support systems,” but what does it really mean to “support” a decision? More commonly these systems are used to facilitate decision-making in a broad array of scenarios, providing guidance for the decision before it is made and reinforcement of the process after the decision is made, all with the intent to help people make better decisions.
Understanding what type of information is expected to make a particular decision is one step in considering the variables that are relevant for improving the process as well as ways that the right amount of information can streamline or optimize those variables. This presentation introduces a simple model that abstracts some of the key facets of a decision-making scenario and can help highlight where potential gaps in knowledge can impede optimal decision-making.
The presentation will then consider how “decision quality” can be assessed using a number of dimensions such as informedness, timeliness, completeness, and optimality of outcome. In turn, we describe how a model for a decision-making scenario encompasses at the very least these characteristic features:
- Business use case
- Relevant actors
- Business question to be answered
- Inputs to the decision
- Decision points in the scenario
- Choices presented to the decision-maker
- Desired outcomes
- Performance measures
- Attendees will learn about
- Describing desired outcomes of a decision
- Identifying the decision points within a business process flow
- Assessing what types of decisions are properly informed
- How actors can be guided to make optimal choices
- Leveraging information that will lead to better overall optimal performance
