The benefits of data integration: HFMA study findings.

An HFMA study of "best practices" integrated delivery systems that have integrated their clinical and financial data has found that these systems employ some common strategies--they buy rather than build their system software and they strictly adhere to industry standards for EDI and data conversion.

Study findings were used to refine a conceptual data model that healthcare financial managers can use to implement integrated data collection activities in their organizations.
