"Availability of or access to external data for
predictive analytics should not suffer if organizations have a plan in
place to protect against hacking attacks in today's rapidly evolving
cyberthreat environment. Healthcare organizations that partner or work
with third-party payers that also understand the risks and that
implement safeguards that align with the organization's plan will ensure
continued utilization of predictive analytics. All organizations need to
be ready for new security threats as well as continually update their
cybersecurity programs to stay current." -Swati Abbott, Chief Executive Officer,
Blue Health Intelligence
"Predictive analytics
automates the scheduling process by forecasting needs up to 120 days
before the start of the shift. Taking into account historical census
data and staff behaviors for the organization, the forecast is updated
in real time and is 97% accurate by 30 days in advance of the shift."
Paul Bradley, PhD, Chief Data Scientist at ZirMed discusses the
importance of leveraging predictive analytics to navigate
today’s ever-shifting healthcare landscape.
