Healthcare Analytics

Each week, the #HITsm community does a Twitter chat. This week it was hosted by @ahier and was focused on the topics of analytics. It was good timing considering we’re going to be innundated with healthcare analytics discussions at HIMSS 2014. Here is a look at the questions asked during the chat:
T1: What true models for analytics and data driven healthcare actually exist?

T2: Who’s going to win the analytics market battle: EHR vendors or the analytics specialty vendors?

T3: Should certification for analytics and clinical data warehouses be included in meaningful use?

T4: What are the concerns and benefits around marrying clinical, claims, and consumer retail purchasing data?

You can find the full transcript of the chat here. For those not wanting to read the whole chat, here are some tweets of mine I think you’ll find interesting:

I think this gives you a pretty good view into what I think about healthcare analytics. I’d love to hear yours.
