Health and Human Service (HHS) agencies often wait on data, specifically, on the insights contained in the data. This delay in gathering and analyzing timely information affects their ability to understand people’s needs and deliver critical services that can accelerate outcomes and, more importantly, improve the lives of the most vulnerable members of our society. But what if we could change this dynamic?
- What if we knew more about the people that human services agencies serve and how they are served? What’s the potential impact of an agency’s work on people’s lives and future?
- What if we could identify which kinds of cases are risk prone so that we could put in place specific measures to mitigate that risk?
- What if we could predict which families are more likely to achieve financial independence? Can we use information from their case file or external data from similar cases to pinpoint what factor(s) would change a family's life?
HHS agencies can glean new insights from transactional data and use it to fundamentally transform the speed to outcomes for the people they serve.
Along with building greater analytics capabilities, HHS agencies need to look at new, more agile procurement strategies that will enable them to more quickly seize on the advantages of innovation. This session will discuss real world cases of agencies accelerating outcomes for people and how procurement is being transformed to help agencies leverage analytics modules, PODs and platforms to realize speed to outcomes.
