We’re excited to be attending the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) conference this week to talk about how our mortality data can support oncology outcomes.We’ve collaborated with HealthVerity to produce an analysis of cancer-related mortality using our new Cause of Death algorithm.What did we find out?◾ Cause of death can be calculated for over 1.7M individuals within the HealthVerity Mortality Masterset for 2022 alone.◾ 27% of deaths had neoplasms as a component of death, which closely matches the 25% reported by the CDC. ◾ When we further breakdown by individual cancer type, the highest percentage of deaths are attributed to respiratory, lymphoid, and digestive system cancers.◾ For individuals where neoplasms are calculated to be a comorbidity, we also report the most common primary causes of death.If you’re interested in seeing these results or want to hear more about how you can apply this novel dataset to your analysis, connect with Robin O. to discuss in Chicago or contact us at sales@veritasdataresearch.com#ASCO24 #ASCO2024

Many Providers and Payers use their own claims data to understand the mortality rates in their population, but don’t realize that claims are a highly incomplete source of mortality data. Mortality information is generally recorded in a claim when a patient dies during inpatient care (including hospice). The claim for that event contains specific codes for expired patients, which are often discharge codes for expiry and occurrence codes for the date of death. However, most patients do not expire in a healthcare setting – on average, only 20% of deaths are available in national claims data (see the graph below).Covered entities need to augment their mortality information with external sources if they want to better understand the health outcomes of their patients, remove deceased individuals from their patient communications, and design better population health models and risk-based interventions. A recent study from UCLA confirms this issue, finding that 1 in 5 seriously ill patients believed to be alive in their medical records were actually deceased.

The Veritas Verify solution is now available! This allows customers to quickly know which individuals within their data are deceased without needing to ingest our Fact of Death Mortality Index file or build a comparison process to find their people of interest. Instead, customers can upload a list of individuals to Veritas’s SOC 2 compliant secure environment, and the Verify will create a bespoke file containing the deceased individuals in the customers’ list which is created by cross-referencing against Veritas’ extensive historical Fact of Death dataset. Veritas’s Verify solution has a flexible algorithm that customers can adapt, per project, setting their own thresholds for matching stringency. Results can be updated periodically to monitor as new deaths are reported. Customers can also elect to have the Verify solution search our broader internal repository of deaths to find additional potentially deceased individuals.If you would like to learn how Verify can be beneficial to your company, please reach out to sales@veritasdataresearch.com or contact us through our website to schedule a meeting. https://lnkd.in/gskWNhtk
