MedEZ - Newsletter Q2 2017

Davie, FL, August 23, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Business Intelligence: From Big Data to Big Solutions.

Healthcare has changed rapidly in the last decade, particularly regarding its need for analytics and business intelligence; however, a generalized overuse of the term and its multiple meanings give organizations a hard time defining their needs and priorities.

The more precise way for healthcare to look at business intelligence may be in terms of a strategy. Defining what’s the business intelligence strategy to employ will help define the specific needs an organization has regarding data warehouse, analytics and visualization.

Independent research firm Gartner, Inc., notes in its 2014 report, Top Actions for Healthcare Delivery Organization CIOs, 2014: Avoid 25 Years of Mistakes in Enterprise Data Warehousing, that the lack of a BI strategy is one of “nine fatal flaws in business operations improvement (BOI)” in healthcare.

The Data Issue

Tackling the data paints doesn’t paint a rosy picture. Gartner’s Hype Cycle for Healthcare Provider Applications, Analytics and Systems, 2014 report found that BI solutions market penetration was in the “very low end of the 5% to 20% category,” and “many health systems are still struggling to gain top executive commitment, justify the investment, build strong information governance and settle on an approach.”

The industry is shifting from fee-for-service to fee-for-value, yet without the historical investment in analytics technology so common in other industries and so essential to success.

With healthcare reform and emerging models of care delivery, medical practices need solutions to reliably answer critical questions about performance. Harnessing the combined data of clinical, financial and cost sources, the proper solution enables such complex analysis. These platforms can help produce, for example, a monthly summary of operational value, defined as “outcomes per dollar spent.”
