Introduction to Data Collection: A Messy 
Problem  Conclusion
In-Brief
The c ollection of medical data determines the patient's life quality improvement if  
the medical professionals, pharma, and the payers collaborate closely. Medical  
sectors must understand the collaboration between the patient, doctor, payer and 
 prescription. The reliable data is now at the heart of any hospital decision. Any  
participant in the health care ecosystem to work with incomplete or fragmented  
data is unthinkable that prohibits them from giving valuable insights and opens  
doors for compliance risk. Pubrica discusses the challenges in the medical sectors 
 for medical data collection service.
Introduction 
 to Data  Electronic health records capture and manage the 
 information collected during patient consultations.
Collection: A 
 Messy  Personal health records and claims, patient portals,  
Problem and reimbursement information from payers are  
present in different data sources of patients profiles  
from a medical device data collection.
Additional variables that may contribute to health  
outcomes include health behaviours, physical  
environment, socioeconomic factors, and lifestyle.
Contd..
The information in healthcare is another consolidation and movement of data between 
 various health care partners.
The additional data about members and their environment may obtain from multiple  
vendors government sources that help make good predictions to the right patients at 
 the right time.
Data-driven recommendations and insights improve both quality and efficacy in  
hospitals, mainly for prevention of diseases and early identifying the risk populations.
Contd..
Bringing all the data together and using it to make decisions is always a
significant challenge.
They are
Fragmented data,
Ever-changing data,
Privacy and security regulations 
 Patient expectations

1. Shattered 
 Data Health care data come from perplexing sources with 
 various formats like structured data, paper, videos,  
multimedia, digital pictures and so on.
Data collection in medical sectors communities are equally 
 shattered, making the integration and extraction of data
is a real challenge.
Employers, social network communities, Providers,  
payers, public health specialists and patients collect 
 data, without unifying the information.
Contd..
There are bifurcation and replication of data with no single source.
It results in imprecise and imperfect health care profiles with little insight into a 
 patient's health journey and a member's having relationship with, payers,  
pharmacy, providers, friends and family members.
A lack of miscommunication and understanding and support causes low 
cohesion
and high risks.
Poor communication often results in dismissal of procedures, rising the financial 
 costs and inefficient utilisation of the resource in sample d ata collection 
form
medical research.

2. Ever-changing 
 Data The Patients and clinicians, may move, change 
 their names and professions, retire and die 
like  everyone else.
The organisations also relocate, add new locations 
 or go through different mergers and acquisitions.
The introduction of new treatments and drugs,  
personalised care models change the service  
delivery and data captured, making it difficult to  
keep health care data complete, clean and current.
Contd..
Dry data and dormant information straightly impact the experience of member and
business sustainability for the providers.
It leads to delay in the adoption of new therapeutic options, insufficient response to 
 medical sector programs and low commitment and experience and dependant to
medical history data collection.

3. Privacy and 
 Security  
Preserving trust from patients is the foundation for 
Regulation  building a healthy medical sector ecosystem.
s
Data security has become supremely crucial in the  
health care industry as the privacy of patients depends 
 on HIPAA2 compliance and adopting secure
e lectronic health records(EHR).
Also, with flighty regulatory needs, protecting data sets 
 and commitment compliant will become a challenge.
Contd..
Low data quality and strategy prevent organisations from meeting new  
regulatory needs and result in high costs associated with audits and reporting.
Until data security and compliance issues addressing adequately, it's a  
challenging task to increase healthcare with broader people for data collection
 in the medical field.

4. Expectations 
 of the  The medical industry is about to experience the 
Patient  similar shift in retail, banking and hospitality  
management.
The health care system is on-demand for the 
 perfect service.
At the same time, pressures from millennials and  
Generation will force medical sector organisations 
 to prefer newer forms of commitment.
Contd..
Medical organisations must adapt themselves for a new generation, volume 
 and type of persons.
The industry will require to have an understanding of patients changing needs 
 and their preferences and then provide solutions to align with their way of 
life.
Contd..
5. Lack of  
There may be only a few opportunities to confirm
Quality  
information with a patient who has been in contact with an 
Assuranc  emergency, meaning that the data initially collected  
e  cannot be determined.
Processes
Additionally, the problems of record-keeping systems 
 may differ, and data quality is often dependant on the 
 person entering the data correctly.
Relying on the resourcing of an organisation, may not  
permit time to staff for reviewing the information for  
completeness and get missing data in the data collection 
 methods for m edical research.
Conclusion
Medical organisations are aspiring for a patient-  
centric focus that results in an excellent experience for 
 members, cohesion to treatment, timely and 
continued  patient commitment to provide valuable 
health
information and regular reporting on the quality within 
 the management and revenue of the health care.
These often-competing objectives, up-to-date
information and reliable data must be readily available 
 of all concerned stakeholders in a practical manner.
Contd..
Data-driven benefits are making headway in this area, enabling health care  
organisations to transform massive volumes of data into enterprise assets, driving 
 quality patient care and cost management for medical records collecting data.
Pubrica briefly elaborates the existing challenges in the medical data collection.
