Transforming Healthcare with Data Analytics

• Making the world a better place with the help of
  advancements in technology, is a primary focus
  for governments, institutions and companies the
  world over, and in no industry has this continued
  to be more powerful, than healthcare. With the
  digitization of healthcare records and care
  delivery progressing with every passing year, and
  wearables, apps and AI helping healthcare
  employees cope with their over stretched systems
  and workloads, IT and technology are continuing
  to advance the industry in leaps and bounds.

• When it comes to data analytics, while medical
  professionals have been gathering valuable data
  from patients for many years now, digitization
  and the steady rise of big data, are enabling
  doctors and specialists to improve their
  diagnoses and better analyze a wide range of
  issues, from symptoms to pharmaceuticals and
  dosage. Big data can also help to reduce costs
  for medical facilities and improve overall
  efficiency, but its primary purpose is to help
  the healthcare industry in a much more direct
  way.
• How data analytics helps prevent errors and
  infections
• Avoiding treatment mistakes and/or post-operative
  infections is made much easier with the help of
  data analytics.

• The business intelligence harvested from the
  data, one can help medical professionals make
  actionable decisions that ultimately, help them
  give better care to their patients. Some
  healthcare facilities reported that after
  introducing more data-centric practices, they
  were able to reduce avoidable harm by up to 40.
• Helping to eliminate diseases
• Providing us with the tools to eradicate deadly
  diseases, data analytics, for example, is helping
  governments in countries affected with millions
  of cases of Malaria each year, to eliminate the
  disease completely.

• Training healthcare workers to use data to track,
  report and treat diseases like Malaria, helps
  them to better understand, manage and prevent it,
  while significantly reducing response times, too.
• How to make the most of data analytics
• Data must be used properly in order for it to be
  truly effective though, and healthcare workers
  must be able to access it when needed and receive
  it in real-time (or as close to that as is
  possible) to be able to make accurate,
  data-driven decisions for the wellbeing of
  patients.

• One vital measure to take when implementing data
  analytics in any medical facility, is to ensure
  that the relevant healthcare employees have been
  trained how to use the data and what questions to
  ask to receive the right actions.
• Big data and data analytics are immensely
  powerful tools, but without the right people to
  use it, their significance becomes lost. If
  youre considering using more data-centric
  approaches in your company or healthcare
  facility, be sure to talk in detail to
  professionals who are qualified experts in the
  use of data analytics to ensure that you reap the
  most rewards from it.
