Julie Bartels, Healthcare Clinical Business Intelligence at Catalysis

My guest for episode #166 is Julie Bartels,  Executive Vice President, National Healthcare Information at the ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value. In this episode, we are talking about their new program, the Healthcare Clinical Business Intelligence Network (CBIN). Julie tells us about “business intelligence” and how data and transparency relate to Lean improvement efforts. Why is “the devil in the details” in making more data available to payers and patients? Listen to find out. Read an FAQ document about the CBIN  or see this PDF document.  You can also learn more on the Center's transparency page.
