With health care is one of the most dynamic sectors of activity of Business Intelligence, BI is power its way into healthcare organizations worldwide, where it is used to enhance the quality, performance and productivity.
Here are four examples from around the world:
USA: An organization provider / payer in the Midwest wanted to assess how best to serve populations of patients with chronic diseases. With the help of the power demand data from the internal electronic medical records with external data from open sources credible data were combined. Once completed, they made use of the power plan to see the data and to explore, identify trends and patterns in their service area, which could help to find new ways for patients and consumers serve.
See used in order to explore population models anonymous health data.
Norwegian: Helse Vest is a Norwegian health authority operates 50 health centers. To meet the requirements of a patient safety program of the State, the authority must have the opportunity to see the development in surgery and other medical data to create analytical reports based faster. Helse Vest energy to implement BI Office 365 employees now used to collect and combining data from multiple hospitals. Energy BI reduces the time to create reports from 14 days to less than one personal day, and Helse Vest can meet the government requirements quickly.
The Action Center is the research and development unit at the Hospital of the University of Oslo responsible for determining the best clinical practice and the application of new technologies for the management of health care.
When using data from the radiology request were of the systems of the Department of Energy collected in a database on the basis of the host cloud on a website that are BI-power seen and used as a place loaded cooperation for the exchange of visits between researchers. Consultations could be provided in the form of research in natural language, in turn, eliminating the need for programming skills.
Hospital executives and Action Center researchers say they can not POWER Bi with the speed of analysis to provide actionable information to better cooperate to prevent with researchers in the society and on capital and operating costs of traditional BI solution.
UK: The North Tees and Hartlepool Foundation Trust National Health Service provides hospital and community services to a population of around 400,000.
Foundation Trust debut energy uses BI to assess the cost and effectiveness of the drug in the treatment process. A case of energy use BI was used to correlate weather data with the entity's own data to identify the impact of climate on the frequency of data, breathing pattern, the drugs were prescribed for and how prescription vary by location. The use of this data is now dedicated to working with other hospitals to collect data on BI energy to Compare identify the best practices in drug prescribing.
