Greencastle’s Data to Value (D2V) Solution Unveiled

NEW SERVICE OFFERING FROM GREENCASTLE CONSULTING PREPARES SMALL AND MEDIUM HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR DATA

MALVERN, Penn. — June 15^th, 2013 — Greencastle Associates Consulting announced the immediate availability of a new healthcare solution – Data to Value (D2V). The D2V solution is designed to help healthcare organizations assess, create and mature their health data analytics program.

As healthcare continues to adopt new technologies that are meant to improve outcomes, reduce costs and increase revenues, many organizations have only just begun to take advantage of the data these systems produce on a daily basis.

Data to Value (D2V) offers healthcare organizations a sensible, realistic approach to creating and maturing a health data analytics (HDA) program. Greencastle Consulting’s Senior Partner Celwyn Evans says “While some programs have been data centric for years, the reality is that most organizations need a little help to properly leverage their data for daily decision making”. Greencastle’s approach is simple: Start small, think big.

Starting Small: By starting with a single process that can be enhanced by leveraging data, an organization can show the value of using data properly without being overwhelmed with too many projects.

Think Big: Greencastle creates a program structure the healthcare organization can use elsewhere to replicate the HDA enabled process.

Not all organizations are starting at the same point, so Greencastle has developed two options. D2V | Initiate is designed to help start a HDA program while D2V | Growth is designed to mature an existing HDA capability.

 D2V | Initiate: Greencastle helps healthcare organizations initiate a Health Data Analytics (HDA) capability.  D2V|Initiate implements a deliberate, people-centric HDA process with scalable technology initially focused on a single initiative.

 D2V | Growth: Greencastle helps healthcare organizations address the HDA Drivers through a more mature HDA capability that is deliberately transitioning out of IT. D2V|Growth implements a scalable and sustainable HDA process with the required technology encapsulated within an HDA-Competency Center (HDA-CC), initially focused on a single initiative.
