TOPIC
Business Intelligence and Predictive Analytics in the Healthcare Environment
ABSTRACT
The healthcare industry is fortunate to have extraordinary database resources, originally intended for social planning purposes, which can now be deployed for Business Intelligence and Population Health purposes. However the complexity and quality of these data repositories must be thoroughly understood and effectively managed to garner the information and intelligence so desperately needed by the evolving regulatory, economic and competitive environment.
While privacy and confidentiality issues abound in this data environment (HIPAA), the opportunity to understand Community Based Needs and the trends towards a new economic model require all of the expertise of the Data Science field. The infrastructure and quality of massive repositories of structured and unstructured data continue to explode along with the constant evolution of the classifications and codes employed. The capacity to mine the data is equally as dynamic as the tools to evaluate trends and seasonal patterns. Additionally the expertise is evolving to provide longitudinal linkages to understand the progression of conditions and diseases as a part of clinical decision support and the understanding of 'Risk'. We will explore these issues in the context of an industry in fundamental transformation.
