Health Care Analytics
What is Health Care Analytics?
Health care analytics is the systematic use of data analysis and statistical techniques to gain insights into health care operations, patient care, and outcomes. The industry involves collecting, processing, and interpreting data from various sources, such as electronic health records (EHRs), medical imaging, insurance claims, and patient surveys, to support decision-making and improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare system. Healthcare analytics leverages various tools and software platforms, such as SAS, R, Python, SQL, and specialized healthcare analytics software. These tools are used for data mining, statistical analysis, and data visualization, helping to transform raw data into actionable insights.
