Bad Data Costs Healthcare Organizations Millions

Sage Growth Partners

How much could a typical healthcare organization save by improving its data management?

Healthcare organizations (HCOs) across the U.S. are making investments in analytics a top priority. But if the underlying data are bad, how can the insights be good?

A new survey of 100 healthcare executives — conducted by healthcare consultancy Sage Growth Partners and commissioned by InterSystems, a global leader in innovative data systems — found that leaders continue to face numerous challenges in collecting, normalizing, analyzing, and using data to make timely clinical and business decisions. Despite widespread adoption of electronic data, most executives say that they still lack data they can trust to drive good analytics and meet their strategic priorities. And over half of survey respondents say that these issues negatively impact their ability to make decisions, identify gaps in care, optimize the revenue cycle, and meet quality metrics.

Next-Generation Enterprise Master Person Index for Identity Management Seamless patient, member, and beneficiary identification is essential for efficient operations across healthcare organisations and government agencies. Yet, fragmented systems, inconsistent identifiers, and data gaps continue to disrupt workflows, increase costs, and compromise care quality and service delivery. 35% of denied medical claims stem from inaccurate patient identification¹, while mergers and affiliations further complicate record consolidation. Even within a single information system, duplicate or overlaid records can introduce inefficiencies and risks; by creating costly administrative burdens and compromising the accuracy of AI workflows built on unreliable data. To maintain data integrity and prevent cascading errors, organisations must be able to detect problematic records in real time and trigger corrective actions.
