Excerpt

Healthcare analytics uses quantitative and qualitative methods to systematically collect and analyze medical data from various sources, including electronic health records, medical imaging, insurance claims, patient surveys, wearable devices, genomics, and pharmaceutical data. This approach supports evidence-based and outcome-driven decision-making in clinical practice. Data analytics in health care identifies patterns, enhances patient care, and improves system efficiency.
