National Seminar on ‘Big data to Predictive Analytics – Future of Healthcare’ conducted by PHD Chamber

The PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry organized a Seminar on Big data to Predictive Analytics – Future of Healthcare on 5th September 2013 at PHD House.

 

The Insurance Times magazine was media partner for the event.

 

In a statement issued here today, Dr. (Ms.) Syeda Hameed, Member, Planning commission said that “ We will have the Big Data in Quintillion bytes created in the Healthcare sector but the question which arises here is “How do we put it to use”? It is important that we are able to reach out to the remote locations like Nicobar and tribal areas with the Healthcare services through the optimum use of technology.”

 

Dr Syeda Hameed also stressed on the relevance of Interoperability and Health Information Exchanges (HIE) which could connect number of hospitals and may have records for millions of patients, which could be used by physicians for treatment.

 

Further in the Seminar (Brig.) Dr. Arvind Lal, Chairman, Health Committee, PHD Chamber said that Predictive analytics requires analysis / real-time analysis of the structured big data which could make healthcare proactive and not reactive. 

Predictive analytics can improve results for both the patient and businesses participating in the complex healthcare market. It simulates PRO (Patient Reported Outcomes) for care quality improvement / outcomes and could predict high risk patients for ACO (Accountable Care Organization) and hospitals along with simulating connected health consumer and recommend technology interventions that drive healthy behavior change.

 

Today, healthcare executives are under tremendous pressure to address a host of different challenges: medical errors, rising costs, inconsistent quality, inefficiency, declining doctor satisfaction, and mounting staff shortages. Dealing with these issues will ultimately lead to better healthcare, but the process appears as complex and overwhelming as the challenges themselves. Information – or lack of it – is a big part of today’s healthcare problems. 

Accordingly, Information based on Technology should be a big part of the solution. Healthcare stakeholders can now have access to promising new threads of knowledge. This information is in the form of ‘’Big Data’’, so called not only for its sheer volume but for its complexity, diversity and timeliness. Getting access to this valuable data and factoring it into clinical and advanced analytics is critical to improving care and outcomes, incentivizing the right behavior and driving efficiencies.
