Clinical analytics

Anyone know of a good primer on this topic. Trying to get my head around the CMIO role when it comes to analyzing the data from our EMR and presenting it to our docs in a user friendly way. What does a practicing MD really want to see? What type of data is truly actionable? Are we creating data for data’s sake or are we creating something useful for clinicians out in the trenches. What would you want to see? let me know. Thanks.

Healthcare IT, also known by the acronym HIT, is all about using information technology solutions such as hardware, networking, and software to help improve healthcare, save lives, reduce costs, and improve profit margins for healthcare organizations. Healthcare IT has always been important but recently it has been receiving more attention because the government and consumers (patients)

are demanding better service from care providers and healthcare IT is a good way to improve service.The healthcare system, especially in the USA, has some critical problems such as nurse and physician shortages, spiraling costs, poor consumer (patient) service, and lower revenues which lead to mergers

or acquisitions. Healthcare IT is in even worse shape because outdated infrastructure, legacy architectures, and monolithic applications prevent positive change from occurring. Healthcare IT can, if used properly, help reduce costs, improve care provider productivity (which can then alleviate some of the shortages), and significantly improve customer service to patients.
