Improving Patient Care, Reducing Costs

Historically, health systems have approached analytics primarily from an incremental, retrospective, and operational-siloed approach. This approach, “Analytics 1.0,” has historically labored under several constraining factors, such as inadequate electronic source data (too many manual processes), source data limited to transactional silos (data constrained departmentally), and a focus on the use of analytics to merely satisfy external reporting requirements, versus higher-order predictive analyses. Solutions designed for the “Analytics 1.0” environment often followed these limitations, either as manual spreadsheet/database solutions or niche solutions narrowly focused on operational needs.
