PHOENIX, AZ - April 18, 2005 - William McKnight, President, McKnight Associates, Inc. presented the state of healthcare business intelligence today. He keynoted the Business Intelligence Summit healthcare track with his presentation on "Where the Gains Are: Healthcare Business Intelligence."
By taking the audience through the major changes in the primary focus of healthcare over the past several years - from Care Quality to Pay for Performance - McKnight tied the importance of business intelligence to the support of healthcare initiatives. He reviewed the state of healthcare systems and data (non-integrated, heterogeneous) and outlined some of the challenges this poses in getting to "Evidence Based Decision Making" - a current major driver in healthcare.
The limited capacities of many healthcare environments to deliver to the requirements were reviewed. McKnight also reviewed the top 5 healthcare business intelligence applications - the Patient Registry, Payer-Focused Performance Analysis, Priority Conditions Scorecarding, Delivery Team Support and Epidemiology.
"In no other industry, at any other time, has the need been as great for business intelligence as it is in healthcare today."
