Big Data and Healthcare Analytics

Abstract

This paper delves into the use of mobile-based or computer-based apps for reducing patient readmission rates in the American healthcare industry. Such interventions are required for improving population health, increasing patient satisfaction, and reducing costs per capita. The aim of the quadruple aim is to simultaneously achieve its three major goals that are mentioned above. It will also investigate the concept of big data from a generalized perspective before inspecting its application in health analytics and information management systems. One potentially effective approach of introducing and marrying these two distinct concepts would involve exemplifying the adoption of digital electronic terminals in healthcare facilities. Additionally, the Quadruple Aim would be analyzed from the perspective of creating efficiency and strategic operational capacity; which is the essence of big data and health analytics.
