Case Study Highlights University of Utah Health’s Use of Data To Support Goals as Learning Health System

University of Utah Health—an academic health center with four hospitals, 12 community clinics and 23 regional partners—maintains its enterprise data warehouse to inform clinical practice and deliver quality care as a learning health system. “We have so much clinical and financial data about our healthcare system that there’s really no reason we should ever make decisions independent of good data,” said Charlton Park, M.B.A., chief financial officer and chief analytics officer. Based in Salt Lake City, the system serves patients in Utah and five surrounding states.
