How Life Sciences Turns Buzzwords into Outcomes

It’s no secret that healthcare conversations are dominated by buzzwords that are more noise than signal.

In the life sciences realm, the loudest noise is generated by the terms real-world evidence and real-world data.

And while many organizations articulate their data access, the much-heralded real-world data rarely drives real-world outcomes.

But with PointClickCare’s unique, longitudinal datasets, these buzzwords become much more than jargon: They become attainable care outcomes.

Read on to learn how.

Unique Datasets

Our system takes care of more of the aging population than any other electronic heath record (EHR) platform.

With over 20 years of real-world evidence in long-term and post-acute care (LTPAC), we help improve scientific research with our de-identified protected health information (PHI).

Our data sets have the potential to provide early warning, mitigate spread, find cures, and evaluate treatment options.

1,400,000+ patients
22,000+ skilled nursing facilities (SNFs)
4,000+ assisted living facilities (AL)

This record of care means that our datasets have a deeper and broader reach into the data that can help this vulnerable population.

Given this unique position, we are well-positioned in this niche, and it is incumbent upon us to lead change and drive innovation.

Driving Healthcare Innovation

The LTPAC population is notoriously difficult to both reach and study.

By working alone and with partners, we will expose our rich datasets for the aging population, driving healthcare innovation that addresses some of the most important life-threatening illnesses.

In addition to bridging this historic gap, we can anticipate the use of data to drive artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools that will significantly improve patient outcomes by helping care workers with predictive modeling. These models will need the data to continue to learn and in turn continue to improve outcomes for future patients.

With the ability to see, learn, and do more at our fingertips for the first time in the history of care, the aspirational becomes achievable.
