Applied Health Analytics and Informatics Using SAS
Health Anamatics is formed from the intersection of data analytics and health informatics. Healthcare systems generate nearly 1/3 of the world’s data, and healthcare stakeholders are promised a better world through health informatics and data analytics by eliminating medical errors, reducing readmissions, providing evidence based care, demonstrating quality outcomes, and adding cost efficient care among others. Though healthcare has traditionally lagged behind other industries, the turning point is near with an increased focus across the healthcare sector by way of cost pressures, new technologies, population changes, and government initiatives. There is significant demand to take advantage of increasing amounts of data by utilizing analytics for insights and decision making in healthcare. Healthcare costs keep rising and we can utilize our technology and analytics capabilities to help address these costs while also improving quality of care.
