Nucleus Research Report

Why Enterprises Are Rethinking Their Data Platform Strategy

Nucleus Research analysis reveals why organisations are moving beyond fragmented, component architectures to InterSystems IRIS.

As organisations scale, component-based data architectures often create more problems than they solve—driving up complexity, cost, and integration effort.

Data Integration Key to Achieving Needed Breakthroughs in Healthcare When peers from other industries ask why data hasn’t driven comparable breakthroughs in healthcare, the answer is usually hiding in plain sight: clinical and administrative data still live in different systems and “speak” different digital languages. Integrating them is a prerequisite for the next wave of progress—better care, better patient experience, and better operational performance at the same time. Fortunately, there are now multiple mandates spurring this integration, from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services requiring Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources APIs, to National Committee for Quality Assurance embracing digital quality measures, to enforcement of prohibitions against information blocking. Health plans and providers, however, must guard against swapping these two longstanding data siloes for several new ones.

Overview An eye surgery center was losing patients. Not to competitors, but to no-shows. Eighteen percent of scheduled appointments went unfilled every week. Four full-time staff members spent their days calling roughly 500 patients, trying to confirm appointments. When that didn't work, the clinic overbooked randomly, hoping the math would balance out. Some days every patient showed up, and the waiting room was chaos. Other days slots sat empty.
