Summary:

Sometimes solutions present themselves exactly when they are needed most. Data-Driven Healthcare has arrived in the midst of cost reduction pressures, the Affordable Care Act, and a chaotic healthcare environment where the application of new technologies seems to be consistently lagging. Clearing away the chaos, author Laura Madsen builds on business intelligence (BI) concepts to create a simple approach to the use of data that can provide a way forward for your organization. From electronic health records to attractive data visualizations that will impress and inspire funders and stakeholders, Data-Driven Healthcare covers what you can do now to make your organization more intelligent. Laura Madsen has extensive experience in the healthcare industry and understands the unique opportunities and challenges of becoming data-driven. With the practical RISE approach-Reduce the unknowns. Identify alternatives, Standardize data, and Evaluate the data program-you will learn how data can help you meet the needs of your community while remaining competitive. Before blindly jumping at the latest data "solutions" on the market, read Data-Driven Healthcare. Funding for new information technologies is available, but making effective use of this funding will allow you to address the issues that really matter. To name just a few possibilities: Predictive analysis of patient readmissions, Improved chronic disease management, Revenue cycle optimization, Privacy and security monitoring, Demographic analysis for new markets Book jacket.
