Data will drive improved efficiency, and quality in healthcare, education, and other industries. Data analysis leaders bear the immense responsibility of helping organizations use data as wisely and effectively as possible.
Chief data and analytics officers are providing organizations with metrics, insight, and predictive capabilities never before possible. In healthcare, the primary focus of analytics is to enhance and improve patient quality care. Organizations view data as a strategic asset and critical necessity for making data-driven health decisions. In addition, data analytics provides actionable information for benchmarking strategic priorities and informed decision-making in higher education.
Many healthcare organizations and academic medical centers are creating robust integrated analytics functions that can provide a single source of truth to senior leaders. These functions can span a variety of domains including clinical, financial, and business operations data with the goal of providing prescriptive and predictive analytics. These roles frequently include oversight of the technology platforms responsible for providing advanced capabilities. Health systems are still trying to determine the best strategy and governance structure for analytics – the key is to hire experienced and collaborative leaders with strong analytics and data backgrounds.
