EHR Webinar: Finding Needles in a Haystack

Health Data Movers had the pleasure of assisting Yale New Haven Health (YNHH) in tackling the difficult task of identifying patients at risk for inherited cancer syndromes. With our assistance, YNHH built a familial cancer registry with dashboards and reports in Epic to enable a targeted outreach program.

Then, we worked together to record a webinar, explaining how they did it – check it out here.

Here’s what you’ll see and hear:

• Incorporating EHR data into a targeted outreach program
• Using EHR configuration to identify patients at risk of specific conditions
• Project sequencing, challenges, recommendations, and lessons learned
• Mapping EHR data sources to clinical guidelines
• Translating complex diagnostic criteria into registry build (and how to validate)
• Configuring population-level reports and patient-level decision support

By the numbers:

• 1 patient registry
• 200+ metrics
• 4 dashboards, many more reports
• 1,000 build hours
• 300 validation hours
• 10,000 eligible patients
• 7,778 manual review hours saved — that’s 3 years!
