Health Analytics

Don't let "analytics anxiety" keep your health organization from improving its outcomes and bottom line. Now your organization can make the most of the explosion in its amount of clinical data-turning it into dramatically lowered costs, enhanced profitability, improved patient outcomes, and reduced fraud.
Written with a refreshing lack of jargon for non-technical, non-mathematical industry professionals, Health Analytics fully defines what a new health care ecosystem can look like, powered by information. Author and health analytics pioneer Jason Burke paints a tangible picture of a different future for health care that's more closely connected to the evolving science of medicine and the growing role of individual health care consumers.
Filled with examples and featuring a Foreword by Babson College Distin-guished Professor Thomas Davenport, Health Analytics explores: - How medicine can become smarter - Learning from other industries - Health analytics as a discipline - The four enterprise disciplines of health analytics - Dealing with data - Health outcomes analysis - Health value and cost - The new evolving science of behavioral health - Risk management - Transparency and benchmarking - The new research and development
This timely book reveals that, just as other major industries are reaping the rewards of advanced analytics every day, the health industry can also take advantage of analytics to consume, unlock, and apply new insights from the precious data already at its fingertips.
