In Dr. Zahid’s panel discussion, he will address key challenges and opportunities of data use, integration, and quality improvement when utilizing clinical decision support to effectively manage populations. This is especially relevant in today’s healthcare practice, which is transitioning to a value-based system where reimbursement depends on meeting federal quality standards, and patient satisfaction continues to increase in importance. For risk-bearing organizations such as Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), the ability to segment patient populations and identify high-risk groups is essential for managing costs and maintaining the highest quality of care.
