HHS is in the midst of a digital transformationIn the midst of change, organizations seek new, innovative ways to

deliver high quality, cost effective services to beneficiaries.

To make informed decisions, organizations must manage:

Digitization of service delivery

More data from more services and devices

Changing laws and regulations

Healthcare delivery transformation

Pressure to contain costs

Growing benefits enrollments

Aging populations

New technologies

Actionable and timely analytics

are key to effective and efficient

service delivery

These initiatives include:

Coordinate service delivery across programs

Design population level health programs

Improve care and service delivery for high risk and/or

high cost beneficiaries

Measure program effectiveness

Administer alternative healthcare payment

methodologies

Provide early warning signs for when children are at risk

Identify opportunities to increase quality and decrease

cost

But in many organizations, this data is locked in silos and

inaccessible to analysts and policymakers.

Adapting to the changing landscape in healthcare

means leveraging your most precious currency: data. HHS organizations are using big data and analytics to inform their

most critical initiatives.

Organizations must manage multiple data types, from many

sources, and add new data sources and formats regularly.
