Using Data & Analytics to Address Consumer Needs |

HCEG Executive Director Ferris Taylor recently moderated “Use Data to Uncover Insights and Create Actionable Strategies that Address Member Needs,” a webinar hosted by our partner World Health Care Congress.
Senior leaders from BCBS of Tennessee, Anthem, and Wellframe shared information and insight about their strategic and tactical focus on using data and analytics to find new, actionable insights to facilitate access, improve outcomes, and reduce costs. A sample of the topics discussed include:
- Importance of thinking about data from standpoint of the member, not the organization
- Anticipating member needs & personalizing interactions via workflow
- Importance of embedding data and AI insight into workflows
- Earning the trust of members by giving them something in return
- Applications having the greatest impact from data & analytics
