“In the next ten years, data science and software will do more for medicine than all of the biological sciences together”

How can we transform the delivery of care?  The answer is through Health Analytics.  This discipline is often championed as the savior of health care in the wake of changing reimbursement models, thinning profit margins, and a paradigm shift to serve the health of populations.  However, this multidisciplinary field can be overwhelming for existing healthcare professionals.  Analysts already accustomed to generating data-driven insights may find the health care context hard to navigate and even Byzantine compared to other industries.

Introduction to Healthcare Analytics is designed for aspiring healthcare data champions and orients learners to this unwieldy field through the lens of three concepts: organizational mindset, analyst skill set, and technology tool set.  Learners walk through a day in the life of a healthcare analytics manager to illustrate all of the components required to turn raw data into a business success story.  Topics include the analytics life cycle, common use cases for analytics, roles and responsibilities for delivering healthcare analytics, and covers expectations of analytic teams.
