CLINICAL DATA
PROVIDES INSIGHTS
into patterns of care, patient clinical profiles
and longitudinal health outcomes.
Optum overcomes the traditional limitations of health care
data by incorporating clinical data along with claims data.
We integrate electronic health record (EHR) data from providers around the
country and combine it with claims, prescription and practice management
information to provide the most complete patient-level, de-identified data set.
Our data includes medications, lab results, vital signs, physician notes, diagnoses,
procedures, demographics, hospitalizations and outpatient encounters. We apply
sophisticated techniques to mine, standardize and aggregate these data to generate
a comprehensive, longitudinal view of patient care.
The following charts show the kinds of insights this data can provide to
providers, administrators and researchers on conditions such as diabetes.
