Data Gateway: Custom Integrated Dataset

The challenge

• Client team wanted to create a best-in-class data platform that has sufficient data coverage to support insights, forecasting, targeting, ML/AI supported customer engagement models. We supported them in developing a data platform that integrates two major claims vendors.

Our solution

• Putnam’s prior work identified an idealized data platform that included two major claims datasets which was a first in the US at the time​.
• This framework leverages tokenization technology, and allows for the addition of other datasets (e.g. labs, HUB, EHR, hospital).​
• Putnam designed sensitivity analyses to de-duplicate common patients/claims, creating enriched claims where possible that are better than either dataset alone​.
• We also leveraged the platform to combine two lab data sources into the data platform, linked to the claims data.

The results

• The final data platform resulted in 30% improved unique key treated and diagnosed patient coverage vs. either original claim datasets alone​.
• Underlying details around each patient was also enhanced (i.e. more claims per patient, more diagnosed and treated patients).
