Mining Medical Data For The Big Picture

摘要

Medical provider Marshfield Clinic has developed a Population Health Management dashboard that lets clinicians look at trends in large patient groups that they see, and compare those trends with how specific patients are doing. The dashboard has been deployed to more than 400 users. It helps identify which physicians are leaders in managing care for specific conditions, with the hope that their best practices can be shared to improve those who are lagging. It was developed using commercial business intelligence tools that take data from Marshfield's 12-TB enterprise data warehouse, which has data on more than 2.5 million patients.
