Clinical Business Intelligence
Clinical business intelligence is the use of various data analytical tools to improve healthcare quality. The healthcare system is inundated with massive amounts of data but many healthcare providers and organizations do not gather and analyze these data to assist with their clinical decision making process. In many instances, this leads to the presence of healthcare waste such as delay, medical errors, overproduction, and ineffective care provision. The deployment of clinical business intelligence is crucial to success in a value-driven healthcare system that requires improved healthcare quality and improved health outcomes, while decreasing healthcare costs.
