Big Data in Healthcare – Reducing Health Care Costs

Health care providers face many obstacles while analyzing health care data and realizing the costs involved. Securing, sharing, and organizing sensitive data with the help of BI tools and data warehousing is key.

Health care data is diverse, disparate and distributed into hard-to-penetrate silos owned by a multitude of stakeholders. Each stakeholder has different interests and business incentives while still being closely intertwined.

Healthcare analytics connects the technologies to help deliver insights into the complex data and clinical mutuality that drive medical outcomes, costs, and oversight. These follow the disease models, which help the bridge the gap between researchers and clinicians resulting in better outcomes, saved lives and resources.

Fully integrated data is needed to harness ability to identify the area of waste and opportunities of healthcare cost reduction. Healthcare data warehousing is the best method to organize a health system’s financial, clinical, administrative and patient satisfaction information. Once the aggregation of all such data occurs in one place, it helps categorize and identify the sources of waste reducing the involved costs with improved outcomes.
