  5. Background Information • In 2011, BCBST Medical Informatics purchased Teradata to expand our strategic framework, data infrastructure, integrated clinical reporting and data mining environment • Teradata provides an infrastructure that supports large volumes of claims data, eligibility, pharmacy, biometrics, HRAs, third party data • In addition to expanding our infrastructure and reporting capabilities, BCBST wanted to leverage Teradata to support a mobile framework and strategy

  6. Getting Started • Once the need for mobile capabilities was recognized, Medical Informatics began working with IS to identify potential vendors • As a starting point, IS reviewed Gartner's top quartile for mobile BI • In addition to reviewing new vendors, Medical Informatics assessed technology already in use by BCBST

  7. RFPs vs. Proof of Concepts • The typical procurement strategy at BCBST is to issue RFPs to potential vendors: • Request a written response to a variety of questions/scenarios • Onsite presentation for the finalists • Due to the nature of mobile technology, we wanted to ensure the technology we selected would work in our environment: • Was our data structure adequate? • Do we have the right resources for mobile development/can our staff be trained? • How long would it take us to deploy once we selected the vendor? • Senior leadership made the decision to conduct Proof of Concepts (POCs) with a multiple vendors rather than issue RFPs

  8. Elements of the Proof of Concepts • To determine the top two vendors for the POCs, we held brainstorming sessions with applicable vendors: • Provided high level business requirements to the vendor prior to the brainstorming session • Requested they present benefits of their platforms that were specific to our requirements • Encouraged participation by multiple levels of MI management to ensure we captured all possible ideas/suggestions • Based on the brainstorming sessions, MI selected two vendors to proceed to the POC round: • BCBST developed a Statement of Work (SOW) • Vendors were asked to price a 60 day on site work effort • Output of the POC would belong to BCBST

  9. Elements of the Proof of Concepts, cont. • The Mobile BI Proof of Concept had five objectives: • Create a prototype of an externally facing iPad application with write back capability • Develop an internally facing provider dashboard • Exhibit/showcase adhoc capabilities within the tool • Ability to generate BCBST’s Financial and Clinical Insights Report (FCIR) using the tool • Showcase the ease of use of the tool • Other requirements of the Proof of Concept included: • Vendor personnel had to work onsite at BCBST using a BCBST provided asset • An executive status was required every two weeks • Project status meetings with the team conducted three days per week

  10. Development of the Mobile Application • The mobile application was derived using data from five large, self-funded accounts (de-identified) • Key performance metrics from the BCBST Balanced Scorecard were used: • Financial Trend • Healthcare Utilization • Population Risk • Chronic Health Status • Member Engagement • Clinical Outcomes Due to the 60-day limitation, vendors were asked to focus on two areas and provide two-three levels of drilldown within each component

  11. Mobile Application POC Demonstration

  12. Development of the Provider Dashboard • The provider dashboard was developed using a data set that included all Tennessee physicians (25,000+) • We requested the vendors to develop the dashboard using the following domains: • Summary View • Performance View • Demographic View • Direct Cost and Utilization View • Risk Adjustment View • Quality and Patient Experience View • Indirect Cost and Steerage View Due to the 60-day limitation, vendors were asked to focus on three domains

  13. Provider Dashboard POCDemonstration

  14. Adhoc Capabilities within the Platform • The adhoc capability portion of the proof of concept was demonstrated/shown by using the data for the provider dashboard • We requested the vendors to showcase the following capability: • Ability to select report elements such as columns, measures, sort groups, filters and output formats that are customizable for each user • Automatic condition drill-thru • Ability to create any number of report combinations • Ensure “single version of the truth” • In addition to using the provider dashboard to demonstrate functionality, vendors were asked to hold a ½ day hands on session for our analysts

  15. Report Capabilities within the Platform • The vendors demonstrated the ability to generate/automate reports by using BCBST’s Financial and Clinical Insights Report (FCIR) • We requested the vendors to showcase the following capability: • Ability to interact with the data in a secure, feature rich manner • Ability to perform in-depth analytics and enhanced analytics such as charting • Security, such as password protection • Collaboration, including the ability to export and email • Incorporation of MS office

  16. Proof of Concept Vendor Evaluations • Vendors were evaluated using the following criteria and scoring:

  17. Developing the BI Roadmap • BCBST engaged Claraview (a subsidiary of Teradata) to help develop the BI roadmap for Medical Informatics • Claraview assists in planning and deploying complicated BI projects using proven methodologies for solution delivery and BI program management • Claraview was asked to assist in the following areas: • BI platform selection/support • BI platform TCO evaluation • BI delivery and architecture roadmap

  18. Developing the BI Roadmap Elements of the BI Roadmap 2-3 Year Roadmap for BI Delivery Business Needs Matrixed with Existing Data BI Platform Integration BI Roles and Responsibilities

  19. BCBST’s long range BI roadmap is being finalized. • We expect to deliver the provider dashboard to internal users by December 2012. • We are working to have the mobile application to customers in the 1st quarter of 2013. • Key to BI success is having optimal data models! • Questions?
