Data Utilities for Clinical Data Supplementation

Delivering added value from clinical data retrieval efforts

Moving beyond the PDF to supplement clinical data, boost accuracy, insight, and value derived from clinical chart retrievals

Traditional retrieval campaigns conclude with the delivery of flat PDF files, leaving a plethora of untapped data and insight on the table. With the transformation to digital, records obtained can be mined for additional uses across the health plan to assist in making key decisions to improve the membership’s benefit.

Ciox Data Utilities offers tools that can be used together or individually, depending on need. Utilities include multiple offerings with Structured Data Delivery, Data Harmonization, and more.

Data Utilities leverages the Diameter Health Fusion engine, the best-in-class solution to transform raw clinical data into a standards-based, high-quality, longitudinal, and analytics-ready digital data asset.

Ciox Data Utilities Supplements Clinical Data by:

Offering flexible and scalable data interpretation toolsets that increases the value of charts retrieved
Expanding access to Chart Content and Supplemental Data across the organization
Delivering structured clinical data in electronic and easily consumable formats in the cloud
Simplifying your data utilization by accepting records directly retrieved from EHRs in Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs) or Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) formats
Adding multiple sources of data and chart content to enrich analytics and downstream use cases

Structured Data Delivery

In today’s digital world, not everything begins that way. Even digital PDFs are sometimes lacking the structure needed to consume into your data analytics or send downstream to other departments. Ciox Data Utilities Structured Data Delivery serves the charts with the XML file of the CCDA that is retrieved from the EMR and processed via the Diameter Health Fusion engine. Fusion’s automated, scalable engine generates standards-based, normalized, and analytics-ready data from raw CCDs in near real-time. This allows your team to mine the data or use it to validate against other datasets to ensure you’ve captured the right information, enabling payers the ability to parse and ingest XML or JSON data into analytics and coding applications. It converts raw EMR-sourced CCDA/FHIR data, enabling information to be parsed, enriched, and shared within the health plan departments including population health, health informatics, medical economics, and more.

Data Harmonization

Incoming data is often out of tune and requires tuning. Ciox Data Utilities Data Harmonization reduces the time and cost to make clinical data more valuable and usable, and organizes data chronologically into sections, allowing human reviewers and coders to access the data elements of interest instead of being lost in noisy datasets. It takes the existing structured data files from multiple data sources, enhances, and normalizes them, and returns multi-format outputs using Diameter Health’s Fusion The result is an actionable, interoperable JSON FHIR object version of the XML that has been normalized, enriched, reorganized, deduplicated and summarized to supplement data retrieval projects.

Clinical data is never altered from what the provider supplied, the Diameter Health Fusion process removes the noise and optimizes the chart to be more useful and accurate. This permits payers to seamlessly ingest the digital assets to serve multiple use cases ranging from risk adjustment to enterprise analytics reducing the time spent on data grooming. Available formats range from C-CDA, Summary CCD, JSON FHIR, and more.

Social Determinant Insights

Know what your members are less likely to tell you or their providers, and gain additional information from the charts retrieved and assessed. Ciox Data Utilities Social Determinant Insights appends charts with over 400 attributes, demographic information including phone, address, email, and a deceased indicator, plus offers three risk scores including:

Medication Adherence Risk
Total Utilization Risk Score
Member Engagement Risk Score
