Systematizing Chronic Care
Data ingestion in medicine is typically a series of incompletely linked episodes. Systematizing all care transactions at an individual patient level offers the potential to create the data streams necessary to optimize chronic disease management, stratify individual risk in novel ways and reimagine clinical workflows.
