Abstract

In this era of ever-changing technology, we are tasked with managing the nonstop influx of data and information that drives that technology. We strive to improve patient care outcomes and patient satisfaction scores, eliminate workflow inefficiencies and work-arounds, manage our increased workloads, and utilize our analytic capabilities to determine ways to reduce lab errors and refine current processes. The answers to all of these challenges are at our fingertips, but we often don’t have the right infrastructure in place to extract the value from our abundant information resources. Unstructured data swarm our systems, leaving us data rich but information poor. It is time to take an approach that allows organizations to look at information more holistically and treat it as a valued asset.
