Reliable provider data improves staffing strategies to better meet patient needs
CHG Healthcare reduced duplicate physician records by 45% within weeks
Challenges
CHG Healthcare relied on time-consuming, rules-based processes to identify and remove duplicate physician records, making it difficult to manage physicians’ patient loads and ensure appropriate staffing levels during peak times.
Outcomes
Using Tamr’s advanced AI/ML capabilities, CHG Healthcare mastered millions of provider records in weeks, reducing duplicate physician records by 45% and minimizing the time spent on manual data preparation.
CHG Healthcare is committed to serving the healthcare workforce. However, with multiple parties throughout the organization entering data into a database of over 7.5M healthcare providers, the existence of duplicate physician records is inevitable.
Unreliable data quality made it difficult for CHG Healthcare to develop the staffing strategies needed to ensure appropriate coverage during peak times, resulting in providers becoming burnt out from over-assignment. Identifying duplicate, incomplete, or inaccurate provider records wasn’t easy, however, with CHG Healthcare relying on rules-based processes to identify duplicate records.
By achieving a unified view of 7.5M providers, we are able to improve staffing strategies and reduce provider burnout by better balancing physicians’ patient loads.”
