Change Healthcare Launches COVID-19 Analytics Service to Help Providers Track Spread of Virus with De-identified Real-Time Data
Summary
The environment combines leading data science tools with comprehensive, timely, and statistically significant de-identified claims data, enabling researchers to move beyond test and diagnosis counts into real understanding of disease progression, intervention effectiveness, and impacts upon the healthcare system. While useful in preparing for resource allocation, it provides no insight into the disease progression and the efficacy of interventions––the type of data the medical community needs to take action. Change Healthcare processes billions of U.S. medical and pharmacy claims every year, now including those related to COVID-19. Claims provide a more comprehensive view beyond the test or diagnosis, including other diagnoses, past care, and social determinants of health. We are a key catalyst of a value-based healthcare system, accelerating the journey toward improved lives and healthier communities.
