At St. Francis Hospital in Columbus, Georgia, an initiative is underway to use analytics to predict the current inpatients at greatest risk for longer readmission stays
Exciting things are happening these days at St. Francis Hospital in Columbus, Georgia. Charles E. “Chuck” Christian, the hospital’s vice president and CIO, has been helping to lead a data initiative that could put the organization on the leading edge in terms of leveraging data and analytics to improve readmissions reduction work. At the core of the initiative at the 375-bed hospital is an ongoing project, in collaboration with the St. Simons, Ga.-based Life2.
