The Winners of Data and Analytics

In the last few years, population health and value-based care goals have been driving data and analytics strategies.  As organizations take on more risk, they are also using different data types and algorithms to improve care for high-cost, high-risk patients.

In a 2017 HealthLeaders Media Analytics in Healthcare Survey, 85% of respondents say they have the capabilities to perform descriptive (or retrospective) financial data analytics, while 76% have capabilities to perform descriptive clinical data analytics. The survey found that healthcare organizations have less capability when it comes to predictive financial (56%) and clinical (46%) data analytics. Finally, about one-third of healthcare organizations have the capability each for prescriptive financial (34%) and clinical (35%) data analytics.
