Harnessing Data for Healthy Outcomes

摘要

The healthcare field, with pharmacy as one of its leading sectors, is overflowing with accumulated data. Whether they derive from electronic health records (EHRs), e-prescribing, external data feeds such as regional health information exchanges, or mobile devices, electronic initiatives are integrating data into healthcare systems. Meaningful data in the hands of end users such as pharmacists can enhance clinical decision support by ensuring that precise and complete information is available to make the best and most accurate decision about a person's healthcare. This in turn shapes better outcomes with improved quality of care.
