Data has always informed how we make decisions; the question is how can we best leverage it to improve patient journeys?
In this episode, Sapna Prasad, senior director and head of Clarify Insights at Clarify Health Solutions joins us to discuss data best practices and practical applications for patients. Over the years, Sapna has seen patient journeys evolve to be laser-focused on merging data with a patient’s experience. Now more than ever, patients feel empowered to take charge of their healthcare, researching and gathering information to discuss with their healthcare providers. Sapna also mentions the inclusion of technology into the journeys and how the data is required to be linked to foresee and predict patterns across outcomes.
Data can tell many stories, but what is becoming relevant is how we organize it to enhance patient journeys.
Sapna brings over 10 years of experience working with different healthcare organizations in pharmacoeconomic and biomedical research. At Clarify, Sapna leads a team of 8 analysts/clinical informaticists responsible for delivering data-driven analytics to Clarify’s Payer and Provider customers.
