Leveraging Data in Healthcare: Best Practices for Controlling, Analyzing, and Using g
Data argues that the key to survival for any healthcare organization in today’s data-
D
saturated market is to fundamentally redefine the roles of chief information executives—
a
CIOs, CFOs, CMIOs, CTOs, CNIOs, CTOs and CDOs—from suppliers of data to drivers of t
a
data intelligence.

This book presents best practices for controlling, analyzing, and using data. The elements
H
of preparing an actionable data strategy are exemplified on subjects such as revenue
e
integrity, revenue management, and patient engagement. Further, the book illustrates
a
how to operationalize the electronic integration of health and financial data within l
t
patient financial services, information management services, and patient engagement h
c
activities. An integrated environment will activate a data-driven intelligent decision support
a
infrastructure. The increasing impact of consumer engagement will continue to affect the r
e
organization’s bottom line. Success in this new world will need collaboration among the
chiefs, users, and data creators.

Praise for Leveraging
Data in Healthcare
Ms. Saltiel Busch powerfully and succinctly reflects the current role and challenges of
the modern CIO. In her cogent analysis, she alludes to the demands of the evolving
healthcare business and technology, projecting that the more innovative and forward-
thinking CIOs are better equipped to manage change and ultimately thrive in their
professional roles.

Organizations aspiring to meet the challenges of the future would be prudent to consider
the frameworks and processes outlined by Ms. Saltiel Busch in evaluating the state of
their healthcare data. Her book outlines the people, processes, assumptions/constraints
and technology competencies that should be considered in conducting effective gap
analysis management. Kudos for developing a roadmap for this complex body of work!
—Michelle Currie

Technological advances in healthcare including EHR implementation and related tech-
nologically incentivized revenue streams present a double-edged sword to the healthcare
industry. Ms. Saltiel Busch identifies many of these risks and challenges, most notably
the evolution of new but necessary hybrid management roles that join clinical and finan-
cial technology in a new and different way.
—Kevin Flynn
Vice President Finance/CFO, Associates in Nephrology, SC, Chicago
As Ms. Saltiel Busch aptly points out, the executive leadership roles are becoming
increasingly integrated. As healthcare embraces the challenges of the Triple Aim, the
collaboration of the information executive team is critical.
