In A Framework for Applying Analytics in Healthcare, healthcare analytics innovator Dwight McNeill shows healthcare analysts, managers, and operations professionals how to harvest, adapt, and utilize the best analytics techniques from industries ranging from retail and banking to politics.

 

McNeill describes each method in depth, presenting numerous case studies that show how these approaches have been deployed, and the results that have been achieved. Most important, he demonstrates how these methods can be successfully applied to healthcare challenges including inefficiencies, poor population health outcomes, affordability, disparities, access to insurance, lack of customer centricity, and slow assimilation of information technology.
