Jordan Cooper
We are here today with Joshua Bosire, the Vice President of Access and Chief Analytics Officer at Cooper University Health Care.
0:0:8.480 –> 0:0:19.370
Jordan Cooper
For those who don’t know, Cooper University Healthcare is an academic health system based in Camden, NJ, with 900 physicians and 663 beds today.
0:0:19.460 –> 0:0:27.870
Jordan Cooper
Because we’re talking to Joshua, the Chief Analytics officer at Cooper University, we’re going to be speaking about a great deal about analytics.
0:0:28.140 –> 0:0:31.50
Jordan Cooper
So first of all, Josh, thank you so much and welcome to the show.
0:0:32.700 –> 0:0:33.470
Bosire, Joshua
Thank you, Jody.
0:0:34.30 –> 0:0:34.560
Jordan Cooper
Yeah.
0:0:34.570 –> 0:0:40.370
Jordan Cooper
So I would like to talk about some projects you’re working on in analytics.
0:0:40.430 –> 0:0:47.420
Jordan Cooper
Specifically, you mentioned that you are working on a transition to a new analytics organizational model.
0:0:48.740 –> 0:0:51.320
Jordan Cooper
A hybrid, a hub and spoke model.
0:0:51.330 –> 0:0:55.970
Jordan Cooper
Would you tell us more about what you’re doing and what led to this change?
0:0:57.870 –> 0:0:58.340
Bosire, Joshua
Sure.
0:0:58.350 –> 0:0:58.880
Bosire, Joshua
Absolutely.
0:0:58.890 –> 0:1:0.340
Bosire, Joshua
Thanks for asking the question.
0:1:1.10 –> 0:1:13.860
Bosire, Joshua
So I’m sure this will be familiar to most organizations, because I believe that the success of your analytics initiatives is by large controlled by your operating model.
0:1:13.970 –> 0:1:15.720
Bosire, Joshua
That’s how you execute your analytics.
0:1:16.640 –> 0:1:16.930
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah.
0:1:16.940 –> 0:1:32.330
Bosire, Joshua
And most of the izations in healthcare, when we look at it, you I believe that most organizations do have some model existing an existing model of analytics, which might either be decentralized.
0:1:32.340 –> 0:1:34.650
Bosire, Joshua
So it might be centralized, or it might be in between.
0:1:44.210 –> 0:1:44.360
Jordan Cooper
I.
0:1:35.620 –> 0:2:16.850
Bosire, Joshua
So for us, we’ve for a long time had more of a a model that I would describe more to be on the decentralized side and there have been some limitations that you have experienced in the past regarding that you know specifically, yeah you do run off and into some quality or trust issues with data are confusion for your end users maybe slow responsiveness because when you’re in movie decentralized world uh the coordination is less because you have multiple teams trying to do analytics without a proper coordination towards a common goal.
0:2:17.210 –> 0:2:17.460
Jordan Cooper
Umm.
0:2:35.140 –> 0:2:36.290
Jordan Cooper
What’s that?
0:2:17.220 –> 0:2:42.630
Bosire, Joshua
So those are some of the challenges or limitations that you have had in the past that led us to this journey that we are on now over the last two years I’d said and after researching and looking at various industry best practices, we decided that the hybrid are operating model was best for us essentially that’s really taking best of both worlds from a centralized and decentralized approach.
0:2:42.640 –> 0:2:49.840
Bosire, Joshua
So we are really not trying to be a centralized organization, but we also trying to move away from being extremely decentralized.
0:2:50.810 –> 0:2:51.370
Bosire, Joshua
Uh, so that.
0:2:50.600 –> 0:2:53.660
Jordan Cooper
And so we started just to interrupt.
0:2:53.730 –> 0:2:53.960
Bosire, Joshua
Sure.
0:2:53.670 –> 0:2:57.300
Jordan Cooper
I’m wondering what was this driven by leadership or where was it?
0:2:57.310 –> 0:3:1.580
Jordan Cooper
Users who were expressing frustration with the decentralized approach to analytics.
0:3:1.800 –> 0:3:5.750
Jordan Cooper
Who was the main driver behind this push to move from decentralized to hybrid?
0:3:6.860 –> 0:3:7.710
Bosire, Joshua
Good question.
0:3:9.420 –> 0:3:9.680
Jordan Cooper
OK.
0:3:7.720 –> 0:3:20.160
Bosire, Joshua
It’s actually both because the feedback kind of comes top down and bottom up because your leaders are reacting to what they are hearing from the organization, from the analytics users, right?
0:3:20.360 –> 0:3:35.890
Bosire, Joshua
So you have analytics users who are concerned about the confusion and slow responsiveness and equality issues when that cascades up to the leadership team, then that becomes an important aspect for the organization, necessitating us to actually try to tackle it.
0:3:41.760 –> 0:3:41.960
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah.
0:3:47.130 –> 0:3:47.290
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah.
0:3:36.330 –> 0:4:2.210
Jordan Cooper
You mentioned that there are some data integrity issues or because when you said quality issues with with data, could you speak perhaps about a particular use case, maybe a certain analytical report that you have for a particular department and how those users have had with the decentralized approach experience, data quality issues and then how in the hybrid model now those issues are resolved?
0:4:3.640 –> 0:4:20.870
Bosire, Joshua
So a very simple example will be where two different teams within the organization are ran data or created analytics about pretty much the same thing, but they analyze the same data differently and thing up with two numbers that are not exactly the same.
0:4:21.190 –> 0:4:21.470
Jordan Cooper
Umm.
0:4:21.40 –> 0:4:30.290
Bosire, Joshua
So you that often happens, and I’m sure that it’s it’s not unique to us, it happens and how it even from my peers where you walk into meetings.
0:4:30.300 –> 0:4:38.570
Bosire, Joshua
But because of such an organizational situation, you end up with people presenting numbers that are different, but they are about the same thing.
0:4:39.510 –> 0:4:46.760
Bosire, Joshua
So that of course does raise eyebrows from your senior leadership team saying, hey, I thought we are talking about the same things.
0:4:46.770 –> 0:4:46.930
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah.
0:4:46.940 –> 0:4:48.540
Bosire, Joshua
How comes the numbers are different?
0:4:48.550 –> 0:4:48.960
Bosire, Joshua
Right.
0:4:49.230 –> 0:4:49.470
Jordan Cooper
Yeah.
0:4:58.160 –> 0:4:58.350
Jordan Cooper
What?
0:4:49.430 –> 0:5:2.990
Bosire, Joshua
So part of try trying to change the model towards a hybrid model is more to introduce the Central Code National Central governance of the common elements of analytics that touch everybody.
0:5:11.820 –> 0:5:13.840
Jordan Cooper
OK, both.
0:5:4.180 –> 0:5:14.170
Bosire, Joshua
So in such a model that means that then we have a forum where we are bringing all these teams together to create a common understanding of those things.
0:5:14.280 –> 0:5:27.970
Bosire, Joshua
So if it’s the governance of the data and how we define the data we are doing that collectively as a single entity in as much as they analytics is being created and consumed in a rather decentralized manner.
0:5:28.300 –> 0:5:34.40
Bosire, Joshua
So that’s a way that we are that’s the approach that we are taking and trying to solve this challenge.
0:5:34.760 –> 0:5:35.450
Jordan Cooper
I see.
0:5:43.80 –> 0:5:43.260
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah.
0:5:50.400 –> 0:5:50.540
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah.
0:5:35.780 –> 0:5:51.790
Jordan Cooper
UM, I uh would like to move on to the next topic of analytics here, which is analytics enablement and you spoke about I think we discussed before the episode about expanding self service capabilities to empower end users with analytics.
0:5:52.530 –> 0:5:52.740
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah.
0:5:51.800 –> 0:6:0.800
Jordan Cooper
So again, these end users that drove the model they wanted a more centralized, uh, analytics governance model.
0:6:1.50 –> 0:6:6.280
Jordan Cooper
Now they’re looking for to be empowered with self service capabilities.
0:6:6.550 –> 0:6:7.690
Jordan Cooper
Tell me more about that project.
0:6:9.70 –> 0:6:9.410
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah.
0:6:18.690 –> 0:6:18.840
Jordan Cooper
But.
0:6:9.420 –> 0:6:21.640
Bosire, Joshua
So, uh, we’ve been on an exciting journey as most organizations where as you as you get, you get your leadership team and your users interested in another analytics, there’s always the appetite for more.
0:6:22.70 –> 0:6:24.550
Bosire, Joshua
So that comes into fashions.
0:6:29.950 –> 0:6:30.120
Jordan Cooper
Yeah.
0:6:38.210 –> 0:6:38.600
Jordan Cooper
That.
0:6:24.560 –> 0:6:38.880
Bosire, Joshua
You can choose to they buy approach where you are implementing various tools where it’s your EMR or ERP systems which have embedded analytics but those do have certain limitations where you get to a point where certain things are not.
0:6:53.350 –> 0:6:53.580
Jordan Cooper
Yeah.
0:6:39.90 –> 0:6:56.690
Bosire, Joshua
The bailiff body are not available in the format that’s necessary, so and additional proach you have taken is to create more the custom development platform using one of the leading software tableau, which then enables us to create these wealth of information.
0:7:0.260 –> 0:7:2.150
Jordan Cooper
Yeah, for.
0:6:56.700 –> 0:7:7.650
Bosire, Joshua
So in addition to what’s available from within existing systems, we have been able to create a lot of cash from analytics that a crossover, multiple domains within the organization.
0:7:8.90 –> 0:7:16.630
Bosire, Joshua
So what this has done is really yeah, it’s helped keep on ohm satisfying that task for knowledge.
0:7:16.740 –> 0:7:28.650
Bosire, Joshua
But I I believe at the more information that we present to users, the more the questions they’re asking, because this is information that they they had necessary scene before.
0:7:28.880 –> 0:7:32.700
Bosire, Joshua
So it’s generating more demand for data if that makes sense.
0:7:36.200 –> 0:7:36.510
Bosire, Joshua
Hmm.
0:7:33.440 –> 0:7:45.130
Jordan Cooper
So I understood that at Cooper University Health Care, you’ve purchased a Tableau license and you’re using that to create dashboards for your leadership team.
0:7:45.140 –> 0:7:45.960
Jordan Cooper
Is that right?
0:7:48.230 –> 0:7:52.380
Bosire, Joshua
Yes, and I so essentially it’s not a life, it’s a platform.
0:7:52.390 –> 0:7:57.480
Bosire, Joshua
So it’s essential we have created a user base of over 600 active users.
0:8:4.940 –> 0:8:5.260
Jordan Cooper
No.
0:7:57.530 –> 0:8:13.30
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah, which is mostly our leadership team where we have created this ecosystem of analytics tools where they can access the information about their business units based on the various business questions.
0:8:21.70 –> 0:8:21.230
Jordan Cooper
Yeah.
0:8:13.40 –> 0:8:21.380
Bosire, Joshua
So they are trying to answer and that’s to complement the several analytics that we have from existing systems.
0:8:21.390 –> 0:8:27.160
Bosire, Joshua
You know, like your ERP, your EMR, your financial systems, your patient experience systems.
0:8:30.190 –> 0:8:30.340
Jordan Cooper
And.
0:8:27.170 –> 0:8:36.940
Bosire, Joshua
So it’s really creating these plethora of information so that your users have the options on how to easily access the information that they’re looking for.
0:8:35.660 –> 0:8:37.980
Jordan Cooper
That I see.
0:8:41.690 –> 0:8:41.870
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah.
0:8:37.990 –> 0:9:0.960
Jordan Cooper
So are you saying something like for example does make this concrete the Chief Financial officer in the past would have had to say, hey, Joshua, I need a report on accounts receivable and your team would have to do that and then email him the report versus Now the CFO can say, hey, I want this report on accounts receivable and he runs it himself.
0:9:2.730 –> 0:9:4.770
Bosire, Joshua
I ideally, yes.
0:9:13.590 –> 0:9:13.910
Jordan Cooper
Uh.
0:9:4.780 –> 0:9:14.400
Bosire, Joshua
So it’s exactly what you’re describing that the information is available, though I think just to clarify that at some time some of the questions being asked are new.
0:9:14.450 –> 0:9:20.820
Bosire, Joshua
So it might entail a little bit of wrangling of data, but using existing tools that have been created.
0:9:20.950 –> 0:9:30.120
Bosire, Joshua
So it might mean changing something to be able to answer the specific question because what he or she is asking for may not exactly be available in that format.
0:9:33.880 –> 0:9:34.130
Bosire, Joshua
Umm.
0:9:30.950 –> 0:9:44.160
Jordan Cooper
What’s the business impact been on Cooper University Health care of having users being able to drive their own analytics reports without needing your team as an intermediary?
0:9:46.140 –> 0:9:51.520
Bosire, Joshua
So just to be clear it it’s a journey I can talk about some of the benefits you have seen.
0:9:54.420 –> 0:9:54.540
Jordan Cooper
Yeah.
0:9:51.530 –> 0:9:58.920
Bosire, Joshua
I’m not trying by any means to say that we are about chieve the, you know, the the the gold standard of this.
0:9:58.980 –> 0:10:2.50
Bosire, Joshua
This is a journey that we are on and we are evolving each day.
0:10:2.270 –> 0:10:2.570
Jordan Cooper
Umm.
0:10:9.760 –> 0:10:9.940
Jordan Cooper
Right.
0:10:2.800 –> 0:10:20.10
Bosire, Joshua
So, specifically to speak of, for example, the access world where my role overlaps with, we have seen a lot of benefits talking about, for example, managing and improving how we use physician or provider capacity to improve access, right?
0:10:20.420 –> 0:10:32.810
Bosire, Joshua
So for example, in last year we were able to improve that by three percentage points and I think a lot of this was mostly enabled by the availability of the data to be able to drive a conversation.
0:10:32.820 –> 0:10:35.220
Bosire, Joshua
That is an opportunity here that we need to improve.
0:10:36.290 –> 0:10:45.40
Bosire, Joshua
Uh, so other things like, you know, when you talk about access, these aspects of say in reducing your nauseous and cancellation.
0:10:45.50 –> 0:10:47.400
Bosire, Joshua
So that then you have more capacity to use.
0:10:47.750 –> 0:11:5.890
Bosire, Joshua
I think last year we saw almost a 1.5 percentage points decline in that right and improving self service when we are driving to push more patients to do things like scheduling and managing their appointments that we are able to drive a 5 percentage point increase in that.
0:11:6.480 –> 0:11:15.370
Bosire, Joshua
Again, I’m not saying that this is all mainly because of analytics, but analytics is an enabler for the operational decisions that have to be made in order to drive that change.
0:11:16.100 –> 0:11:25.30
Jordan Cooper
So I imagine as Cao at a peer institution somewhere else in United States, maybe listening to this episode and saying interesting.
0:11:25.40 –> 0:11:31.210
Jordan Cooper
So this analytics enablement is allowing end user self service and analytics.
0:11:31.360 –> 0:11:34.490
Jordan Cooper
Is that freeing up more of my teams time?
0:11:34.500 –> 0:11:40.510
Jordan Cooper
Are they therefore no longer spending as much time creating ad hoc reports for leadership?
0:11:40.520 –> 0:11:53.340
Jordan Cooper
And if so, is my team diminishing in size of resources being constricted or are my is my team being applied to other use cases and have more ability to innovate and work on their own projects?
0:11:53.350 –> 0:12:2.330
Jordan Cooper
What has been the impact on your team of taking some of the report creation off their plates and pushing it right onto Andy End users?
0:12:3.810 –> 0:12:7.800
Bosire, Joshua
So I get the same question for my team also, right?
0:12:8.590 –> 0:12:10.760
Bosire, Joshua
So that’s not just a question from peers.
0:12:10.770 –> 0:12:12.600
Bosire, Joshua
But my team does ask the same question.
0:12:12.610 –> 0:12:20.520
Bosire, Joshua
So in analytics, I think he’s unable the things we are doing today are different than what will be doing tomorrow, right?
0:12:20.530 –> 0:12:28.480
Bosire, Joshua
The questions that you’re trying to answer for your business users by running the analytics you’re doing today will be different than what you’re doing tomorrow.
0:12:28.790 –> 0:12:35.340
Bosire, Joshua
So I guess what I’m trying to say is that there is never scarcity of teams for us to work on.
0:12:42.910 –> 0:12:43.820
Jordan Cooper
I love that.
0:12:35.390 –> 0:12:44.620
Bosire, Joshua
In fact, I feel that the more we give people information, they more they look at it, the more questions that they have about other things that they wanna learn.
0:12:45.130 –> 0:12:49.0
Bosire, Joshua
So I feel like it’s actually been increasing, not reducing.
0:12:49.210 –> 0:13:2.20
Bosire, Joshua
Having said that, I think there’s that evolution in analytics as we try to move from just working on descriptive analytics to going all the way to a predictive and prescriptive analytics.
0:13:2.600 –> 0:13:3.60
Jordan Cooper
He’s not.
0:13:3.480 –> 0:13:3.680
Jordan Cooper
What?
0:13:2.30 –> 0:13:8.720
Bosire, Joshua
So there’s a lot of interesting things that we are really planning on expanding our capabilities to.
0:13:11.900 –> 0:13:12.420
Jordan Cooper
Umm.
0:13:8.730 –> 0:13:22.660
Bosire, Joshua
When you start going into the realm of advanced analytics, simple examples might be a really leveraging on a emerging technologies to create more information from unstructured data.
0:13:23.150 –> 0:13:34.780
Bosire, Joshua
A very concrete example is when you look in healthcare, a lot of data might either be test data or conversational data, but that’s still data.
0:13:34.930 –> 0:13:43.180
Bosire, Joshua
It’s not in rows and columns for you to easily analyze, but that’s still a wealth of information that’s untapped somewhere, right?
0:13:43.190 –> 0:13:52.700
Bosire, Joshua
So that’s all potential of things that we exploring to move into as we free up the resources from just running reports.
0:13:53.0 –> 0:13:53.720
Jordan Cooper
So have you been?
0:13:53.250 –> 0:13:54.730
Bosire, Joshua
So I really don’t see it.
0:13:54.830 –> 0:13:57.0
Bosire, Joshua
I don’t see this as a threat to the team.
0:13:57.10 –> 0:14:2.90
Bosire, Joshua
I see this as a recognition of the value of the team so that we can continue doing more things.
0:14:2.700 –> 0:14:3.270
Jordan Cooper
I see.
0:14:3.280 –> 0:14:9.330
Jordan Cooper
So the team, the more the team gets in, gets reports that are useful in front of end users.
0:14:12.700 –> 0:14:12.900
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah.
0:14:19.830 –> 0:14:20.230
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah.
0:14:9.340 –> 0:14:24.40
Jordan Cooper
The more end users have a dive or requesting to have more additional reports, more questions answered, I’d like to ask a few more questions that have come to mind when you talk about predictive and prescriptive analytics.
0:14:24.50 –> 0:14:26.250
Jordan Cooper
Are you building these sorts of tools?
0:14:26.260 –> 0:14:28.100
Jordan Cooper
You talk about unstructured data.
0:14:28.820 –> 0:14:29.60
Bosire, Joshua
Umm.
0:14:28.150 –> 0:14:30.570
Jordan Cooper
Are you leveraging open AI?
0:14:30.630 –> 0:14:35.380
Jordan Cooper
LLM AMS are you are you building your own tools?
0:14:35.390 –> 0:14:38.430
Jordan Cooper
How are you approaching predictive and prescriptive analytics?
0:14:39.750 –> 0:14:43.390
Bosire, Joshua
So that’s a new frontier that we are approaching now.
0:14:46.80 –> 0:14:46.300
Jordan Cooper
OK.
0:14:43.400 –> 0:14:51.700
Bosire, Joshua
We are running some small proof of concepts, but again we aren’t healthcare, so there’s a lot of sensitivity around how we manage the data.
0:14:52.30 –> 0:15:5.610
Bosire, Joshua
So we are really staying away from the public systems like open AI, but the good thing is that we, Microsoft Shop and Microsoft as you’re aware as availed a lot of tools through the ecosystem.
0:15:5.620 –> 0:15:11.620
Bosire, Joshua
When you talk about Microsoft copilot and their yeah, GPT capabilities.
0:15:17.760 –> 0:15:18.30
Jordan Cooper
Thank you.
0:15:19.110 –> 0:15:20.420
Jordan Cooper
Yeah, you know.
0:15:12.580 –> 0:15:23.620
Bosire, Joshua
So those are the things that we are tapping into to see how we can leverage on both LLM capabilities within a secure infrastructure that doesn’t introduce any risk to our data.
0:15:31.470 –> 0:15:31.630
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah.
0:15:23.20 –> 0:15:33.110
Jordan Cooper
This I see on the topic of risk to your data and I want to kind of circle back to the getting of this conversation with the topic of data quality. Right.
0:15:33.460 –> 0:15:40.580
Jordan Cooper
You know, the for decades had gigo, garbage in, garbage out, has been an acronym.
0:15:41.830 –> 0:15:41.940
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah.
0:15:41.270 –> 0:15:45.500
Jordan Cooper
Uh, well, well known in the data analytics world.
0:15:46.220 –> 0:15:46.400
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah.
0:15:45.650 –> 0:15:48.900
Jordan Cooper
You know, what are you doing to ensure you know great?
0:15:48.910 –> 0:15:54.420
Jordan Cooper
You have excellent Tableau reporting capabilities that end users can use to create their own.
0:15:54.870 –> 0:16:3.920
Jordan Cooper
You have new potential tools through Microsoft, like copilot, which allows you to leverage a private LLM instance that protects your Phi.
0:16:4.190 –> 0:16:11.420
Jordan Cooper
But what are you doing to ensure that one data quality is improved?
0:16:11.820 –> 0:16:17.910
Jordan Cooper
You know, I know you mentioned one that you moved to a kind of hybrid but sent centralized and decentralized governance model.
0:16:17.920 –> 0:16:43.60
Jordan Cooper
But what are you doing to ensure one that the data is of the right quality and that it’s deduplicated, aggregated, normalized, and then two, how are you working to ensure that all the data you are getting from many sources like copilot, like the EHR like patient notes like you know non clinical data, how do you ensure that those are interoperable?
0:16:43.70 –> 0:16:43.930
Jordan Cooper
There’s two questions.
0:16:43.940 –> 0:16:45.630
Jordan Cooper
Clean data and interoperable data.
0:16:46.740 –> 0:16:47.330
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah.
0:16:47.410 –> 0:16:50.210
Bosire, Joshua
So that is an ongoing journey.
0:16:52.490 –> 0:16:52.610
Jordan Cooper
Yeah.
0:16:57.10 –> 0:16:57.370
Jordan Cooper
Thank you.
0:17:7.480 –> 0:17:7.640
Jordan Cooper
Yeah.
0:16:51.40 –> 0:17:10.530
Bosire, Joshua
The steps we are taking are we do have a very strong data team and the various systems that we have put in place which House our data have been developed in partnership with our you know, external partners to ensure that the data is structured in the best way possible.
0:17:11.60 –> 0:17:16.220
Bosire, Joshua
But having said that, data quality issues always arise because you have data.
0:17:16.890 –> 0:17:18.640
Bosire, Joshua
Ah, interpreting.
0:17:18.650 –> 0:17:30.680
Bosire, Joshua
Pulling that data and interpreting it always introduces issues, so it’s simple example might be like I mentioned earlier, two people going in to run the same data but with slightly different definitions of the same data.
0:17:30.950 –> 0:17:32.460
Bosire, Joshua
So a very simple example.
0:17:32.320 –> 0:17:32.590
Jordan Cooper
I.
0:17:32.570 –> 0:17:55.870
Bosire, Joshua
So some of the very basic housekeeping things that we are working on is really trying to ensure that we have standard when you talk about definition of your metrics and KPIs that face tablished, so that we are we have an agreement of what the KP or the metrics mean and people can leverage that across the organization.
0:17:55.880 –> 0:18:5.720
Bosire, Joshua
So for any analytical tools that we are developing, we ensure that that’s available and we are working on making that more robust to cover more metrics across the organization.
0:18:6.460 –> 0:18:12.510
Bosire, Joshua
So that really helps from the gate code to make sure that there’s no confusion as you try to use that data.
0:18:12.840 –> 0:18:21.610
Bosire, Joshua
But as you are looking at a interoperability and pulling in more data together, I think that’s where some of now the behind the scenes confusion happens.
0:18:21.620 –> 0:18:30.950
Bosire, Joshua
Meaning, if you’re using the wrong tools or your folks don’t, you know unsure about how they’re doing specific things, there’s potential for risk there.
0:18:31.140 –> 0:18:33.780
Bosire, Joshua
So that’s something we are approaching carefully.
0:18:34.510 –> 0:18:36.680
Bosire, Joshua
We do have certain tools in place.
0:18:36.900 –> 0:18:46.940
Bosire, Joshua
Help us with that on how we wrangle the data, but as we are looking to expand the data sources, we also exploring other technologies that might help us do that better.
0:18:47.90 –> 0:19:6.310
Bosire, Joshua
We are having some discussions, for example with Microsoft to see if they are fabric solution might help us in bringing all that data better in a better fashion close together as we try to look around you know blending all these data to do more analytics in a more coordinated way.
0:19:10.250 –> 0:19:10.390
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah.
0:19:19.90 –> 0:19:19.250
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah.
0:19:6.780 –> 0:19:22.350
Jordan Cooper
So as we approach the end of this episode, I’d like to ask you to hypothesize Joshua, if you could have kind of a 10 out of 10, right, you have some wish lists and you’re saying this is what I’d like to see.
0:19:22.420 –> 0:19:29.510
Jordan Cooper
If I had unlimited resources and you know no obstacles, what would you like to see in 2024?
0:19:29.520 –> 0:19:36.840
Jordan Cooper
What would be a 10 out of 10 for, whether it’s data interoperability, Queen data reporting being able to incorporate copilot?
0:19:37.200 –> 0:19:38.600
Jordan Cooper
What are you looking to see?
0:19:38.610 –> 0:19:47.820
Jordan Cooper
What wouldn’t really make your life easier if if what would be kind of your 10 out of 10 for where you’d like to be with with your analytics team?
0:19:50.150 –> 0:19:59.560
Bosire, Joshua
Well, you know, I’m tempted to see all the above all the things you said, because the truth is analytics is that it’s an ongoing journey, right.
0:19:59.610 –> 0:20:1.580
Bosire, Joshua
There’s the things we are doing today.
0:20:1.640 –> 0:20:3.40
Bosire, Joshua
We are not perfect at all.
0:20:3.50 –> 0:20:5.780
Bosire, Joshua
Those things is making tremendous strides to improve them.
0:20:6.470 –> 0:20:6.840
Jordan Cooper
Umm.
0:20:6.600 –> 0:20:11.510
Bosire, Joshua
Uh, the ideal situation is that you have it all, you know, all the checkboxes.
0:20:11.520 –> 0:20:13.990
Bosire, Joshua
Check, but I know that’s unrealistic.
0:20:18.70 –> 0:20:18.270
Jordan Cooper
Yes.
0:20:14.520 –> 0:20:19.890
Bosire, Joshua
So if I was to pick like, what could I see as the biggest win for this year?
0:20:20.200 –> 0:20:20.630
Jordan Cooper
Umm.
0:20:20.500 –> 0:20:32.470
Bosire, Joshua
I would say if we could, if we could at attain more maturity on our governance issues, right, because I feel like data is all about trust and data.
0:20:40.700 –> 0:20:40.890
Jordan Cooper
Umm.
0:20:33.160 –> 0:20:42.590
Bosire, Joshua
So if we could resolve a lot of the, you know, the things you’re working on so that people have full trust and confidence in data, I think that would be a big win for me.
0:20:42.600 –> 0:20:46.720
Bosire, Joshua
I know it’s foundational, but that’s a big win because then that helps you.
0:20:46.430 –> 0:20:46.770
Jordan Cooper
Problem.
0:20:53.130 –> 0:20:53.280
Jordan Cooper
For.
0:20:47.850 –> 0:20:54.860
Bosire, Joshua
Yeah, have a solid foundation so that people are not having any concerns and questions about the data they’re using down the road.
0:20:53.350 –> 0:20:57.760
Jordan Cooper
But and and just a little follow up.
0:20:57.850 –> 0:20:58.460
Jordan Cooper
What?
0:20:58.470 –> 0:21:5.710
Jordan Cooper
Which of the topics that we covered today, would you say would do the most to improve trust in the data that you’re working with?
0:21:7.200 –> 0:21:17.870
Bosire, Joshua
The organizational model the because at the end of the day, all these efforts have to be done by people and if you have an effective organization model, it helps actually drive your results.
0:21:17.920 –> 0:21:20.460
Bosire, Joshua
So that’s what we have been putting a lot of work into that.
0:21:21.150 –> 0:21:21.620
Jordan Cooper
Perfect.
0:21:21.630 –> 0:21:24.120
Jordan Cooper
Well, Joshua, I’d like to thank you for our listeners.
0:21:24.130 –> 0:21:30.220
Jordan Cooper
Again, this has been Joshua Bosire, the VP of Access and Cao at Cooper University Healthcare.
0:21:30.230 –> 0:21:31.940
Jordan Cooper
Joshua, thank you so much for joining us today.
0:21:33.160 –> 0:21:33.830
Bosire, Joshua
Thank you, John.
