How Healthcare Analytics and Visualization Are Transforming Patient Care
Sarah, a dedicated doctor at a leading hospital in Los Angeles, manages patient consultations and vast amounts of medical data – from lab reports to patient histories. Despite her expertise, critical insights often get buried, making it hard for her to catch early warning signs or assess treatment effectiveness accurately. But there’s hope. Like Sarah, many healthcare professionals are turning to data visualization and analytics to streamline patient care decision-making and improve patient outcomes. With the adoption of healthcare analytics expected to grow by 10.6% in hospitals and clinics, leveraging it is becoming essential.
In this article, we explore how healthcare analytics and visualization tools are improving patient care, and helping doctors make more informed, life-changing decisions.
5 Ways Healthcare Analytics Improves Patient Outcomes with AI & Visualization
Healthcare analytics can sift through huge volumes of data efficiently, revealing hidden insights that could lead to better diagnoses, personalized treatments, and ultimately, healthier patients. By leveraging data, doctors can move from reactive medicine towards a proactive and predictive approach.
We have curated a handful of scenarios where healthcare data analytics offers helpful solutions.
1. Spot (And Stop) Risks With Advanced Predictive Analysis
Healthcare data analytics can help identify patients at risk, leading to better patient outcomes and reduced treatment costs.
For example, a hospital can use predictive analytics to identify patients at a high risk of sepsis after surgery. By analyzing historical data, identifying patterns, and applying machine learning, it can easily gather this data. Nurses can proactively monitor these high-risk patients, enabling early detection of sepsis and prompt intervention, potentially saving lives.
With Lumenore’s Predictive Analytics, providers can:
- Analyze historical patient data
- Detect high-risk patterns
- Trigger real-time alerts to care teams
In-fact, Predictive analytics can reduce hospital readmission rates by up to 20% (HealthIT Analytics).
2. Ask Data, Get Answers Instantly with Conversational AI
With Natural Language Query (NLQ), clinicians and administrators can ask questions about data in plain English, without any coding knowledge. This can help them improve diagnosis and offer better treatments.
For example, the Journal of Clinical Oncology Clinical Cancer Informatics reports a story where a conversation intelligence tool analyzed data from 7,714 patient samples and 31 cancer types to identify the right medicines for the right patients.
Lumenore’s conversation intelligence feature helps you do the same. Ask Me, Lumenore’s Conversational AI assistant can connect to Google Home or Alexa and use simple business queries to answer that improve patient outcomes.
With Lumenore’s Ask Me feature:
- Query dashboards in plain English
- Connect insights to Google Home or Alexa
- Get contextual answers, fast
3. Combine Data From Multiple Sources into One
Data connectors can pull data from a wide variety of sources, including EHRs, medical devices, claims data, and even wearable tech, helping avoid data bias and leading to better disease management.
Let’s take for example, a researcher who is studying the impact of sleep quality on diabetes management. By connecting to EHRs, sleep trackers, and glucose monitors, the researcher can get a holistic view of the patient for more accurate analysis and effective interventions.
Lumenore Connectors connect data from multiple sources, reducing manual efforts and simplifying healthcare analytics for everyone, thereby improving decision-making. It also helps improve operational efficiency by creating a centralized repository of data.
With Lumenore Connectors:
- Integrate multiple data sources
- Eliminate silos and manual imports
- Enable real-time, bias-free decision-making
4. Simplify Complex Data With Data Integration and Management
Let’s say a hospital wants to analyze patient outcomes for a specific surgical procedure. With well-integrated and managed data, it can confidently analyze factors like length of stay, complications, and readmission rates, leading to improvements in surgical protocols and patient care.
Data integration and management in healthcare analytics ensures all the data is cleaned, standardized, and organized, making it reliable and usable for analysis.
Lumenore tackles data silos by creating a single source of truth for all your data. This helps teams collaborate and discover insights easily through simplified data architecture and integration.
With Lumenore:
- Clean and standardize healthcare data
- Break down departmental silos
- Enable self-service analytics for non-technical users
5. See Trends, Save Time with Visual Dashboards
In healthcare, data visualization presents complex data in charts, graphs, and dashboards making it easier for clinicians and administrators to understand and act on it.
Imagine a care team reviewing the performance of a new diabetes management program. Data visualization tools can clearly show trends in blood sugar control, medication adherence, and patient engagement, allowing them to quickly identify areas for improvement and tailor the program for better results.
When a renowned government-driven healthcare program faced challenges while trying to collect and manage data across diverse domains, they turned to Lumenore’s healthcare data analytics platform. This helped them improve patient outcomes drastically. With Lumenore, they were able to:
- Integrate data from different sources across 50 districts.
- Improve patient outcomes with real-time tracking and automated alerts.
- Gain on-time reliable and actionable insights.
“During the global COVID-19 pandemic, Madhya Pradesh was looking for a solution to understand and visualize the state-wide impact. That’s when we met Lumenore.
