Using big data analytics to improve healthcare
Big data analytics (BDA) is increasingly advocated as one of the most important IT innovations for healthcare organizations. Potential benefits include improving quality of care, reducing waste and error, and reducing the cost of care. However, healthcare organizations struggle to gain the benefits from their BDA investments. Improving the ability to exploit big data is therefore a central concern for practitioners.
The changing role of the IT department
As IT is increasingly embedded in products and services, customer and supplier relationships, and business processes, the role of the IT department expands to impact core functions and business strategies. This may require changes in work processes, structures, and competence requirements.
