Culminating years of work in this arena and anticipating the healthcare industry’s needs, Dale Sanders from Health Catalyst published the inaugural version of the Healthcare Analytics Adoption Model in 2012, a proposed framework to measure the adoption and meaningful use of data warehouses and analytics in healthcare in ways similar to the well-known HIMSS Analytics EMRAM model. After consultations and feedback from the industry, the second version of the Health Analytics Adoption Model was released in 2013.

This can be a helpful framework for understanding what is infrastructure and processes are needed to use data successfully to manage the health of your population and engage in alternative payment arrangements that are gaining traction.
