2019
As health care systems face increasing costs and reimbursement uncertainty, value-based models of care and population health management have gained significance. To reflect these realities, the portfolio for the Duke Institute for Health Innovation (DIHI) has continued to evolve to meet these challenges and address the needs of our patients. In this past year, we have focused our efforts in quality and patient safety, preventing hospital acquired infections, team-based care models, novel patient interactions and population health.

Over the past year, we have expanded our capabilities within data science, focused on the implementation of machine learning models, and continued to engage 3rd year medical students and trainees in research and innovation activities. Our data science team has undertaken the work of automating the ingestion of raw Medicare claims by cleaning and normalizing ACO claims data. This is a first for Duke and we believe that through this new capability, we can leverage not only clinical data to make better predictions but also claims data. We have used this capability to predict the need for palliative care consultations as well as to predict first admission to the hospital. Download 2018 Impact Report
