Dr. Fauzia Khan, CMO of Alere Analytics, to Provide Healthcare Insights on Population Health Management and the Next Generation of ACOs at the US News & World Report Hospital of Tomorrow Conference

Alere Analytics, an Alere subsidiary specializing in analytics and clinical decision support (CDS) technology, today announced that Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder, Dr. Fauzia Khan will participate in an industry panel that spotlights how advanced analytics and population health management are driving the next generation of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) at the 2014 U.S. News and World Report Hospital of Tomorrow (HOT) Conference. The conference, which is being held at the Washington Hilton in Washington D.C. on October 6 - 8, will address critical and mounting challenges facing hospitals and health care systems today. During the conference, Alere Analytics will be showcasing the Company’s suite of hospital and provider solutions at booth #303.

In Dr. Khan’s panel discussion, she will discuss how population health management enables healthcare organizations to meet their operational, financial and clinical goals, by leveraging advanced analytics to identify critical gaps in care and streamline administrative costs. At the population-level, real-time analytics can assist hospitals, providers and ACOs to more effectively manage chronic conditions, reduce hospital admissions and readmissions, and ultimately may improve patient outcomes. She will further discuss that by incorporating both real-time clinical information and claims data, providers can obtain a comprehensive view of their entire population data landscape, and thus are able to identify those with the greatest noncompliance risk and the most actionable clinical opportunities for improvement.

Panel Synopsis: As more hospitals, health care systems, medical groups and other providers create accountable care organizations, their potential to deliver on the promise of higher-quality care and better outcomes at a lower cost is starting to take shape. While it’s still too early to judge the long-term viability of ACOs, how these new collaborations are playing out can provide insight into their ultimate benefits and limitations. In this session, hospitals that have implemented ACOs, and a leading CMS expert, share their lessons learned in reconstituting care delivery and what steps are necessary to improve the model and spur more widespread adoption and success.
