The basic analytics lifecycle is simple – data acquired, data transformed, results communicated. But what happens once those results leave the safe environment of the data model? Axiom Clinical Analytics is a powerful tool that curates data from multiple sources to calculate performance measures, benchmark clinical outcomes, and generate reports. Guided by data, users of these reports must then apply their own knowledge, experience, and expertise to make strategic decisions that improve patient care. In this session, hear how three healthcare organizations leverage Clinical Analytics to inform their decisions and leverage their expertise to improve quality, cost, and patient outcomes.

Following the initial pandemic shutdowns in spring 2020, interest skyrocketed in rolling forecasting to either complement or replace annual budgeting — and with good reason. Interest in the adoption of the rolling forecast model has persisted over the years since, and many organizations continue to seek guidance on the best approach. This customer panel will offer multiple perspectives on the question as finance executives chose the right model for their organizations and evolved the model as conditions changed. We'll also discuss tips for change management throughout the process.
