We leverage data to improve lives.
Data is our starting point in designing interventions to improve the health of client populations. Our analytics capabilities include the collection, aggregation and interpretation of a broad range of health-related data. The findings from this analysis guide our development of effective health education and outreach strategies.
How we use data. We transform data on demographics, determinants of health, utilization and other factors into actionable insights that support population health management. The result enables us to target our interventions to address the specific health needs of different populations.
Data in action: Delta Dental’s Health Informatics Visualization Platform
Our Health Informatics Visualization Platform consolidates multiple health data sources into actionable information to better identify the needs of individual groups. We start with population data, layer on information on dental care patterns and then incorporate external public health data sources from agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Delta Dental Health Visualization Platform: 12-Month Dental Utilization by School District
A series of dashboards within our Informatics Platform allows us to study health care utilization across geographic areas, demographic attributes and social determinants of health. This broad data analytics capability helps us uncover the underlying factors for oral health disparities and tailor interventions to improve health outcomes for vulnerable populations.
