Leveraging the value for health care providers using clinical workflow analytics

Abstract

Improving the effectiveness and efficiency of health care is very important nowadays. Optimization of clinical workflows regarding quality, time and costs is one of the current key management strategies. Applying clinical workflow analytics, the whole hospital’s workflows can be assessed. The assessment results provide the possibility to identify process strengths, weaknesses and risks, which can be used for further risk analysis and process optimization in health care. Besides that, clinical decision support can be provided based on the analytics results. Both lead to an improved quality of clinical processes and workflows. Especially for hospitals it can directly enhance the clinical, operational and financial outcome and the quality of care while leveraging the value in health care.
