Democratizing Data for Healthcare Success

As healthcare organizations better understand the potential of analytics platforms, it’s increasingly important that data be accessible across the enterprise.

With the widespread adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs), medical devices and other information-technology (IT) repositories, the healthcare industry now has an abundance of health-related data at the ready. Yet, despite the success of analytics platforms to inform decisions across the enterprise in other industry verticals, data analytics adoption lags in healthcare.1 Some have argued that the industry does not fully understand the potential benefits of such programs — and where its use could offer meaningful, strategic insights to improve the quality of patient care and reduce unnecessary healthcare costs.
