Manage data as a strategic assetReliable and secure data are the basis for better decision making
How to fully leverage the potential of data
As healthcare organizations begin to apply analytics to care delivery, data has become one of a hospital's most valuable assets - and one of the most challenging to manage. Providers struggle with setting a strategic direction and collecting the right data from fragmented data sources with low interoperability. Analyzing poor-quality data, may result in conclusions that are ineffectual or incorrect.
