Game Changers, Real Time and Predictive Analytics:
New Opportunities for Health Analytics/Health System Use and their
Potential for Changing Health Care
Randy Giffen M.D.
Solution Architect, IBM Canada
Healthcare leaders face an intensifying mission for transformation
…That lead directly to requirements for Big Data & Analytics
Predict future resource demands and
requirements to serve the patient population
Understand total cost of care &
areas for efficiencies and
process changes
Provide cost transparency and
superior care to an ever more
demanding public
Recognize patterns of disease progression
and take targeted action
Wellness
Understand effects of treatments
on the broader population and
individual patients
Optimize care and service to the
patient at any point of contact
Opportunity to Utilize Information Technology
“The committee also believes that opportunities exist for attacking
these problems—opportunities that did not exist even a decade ago.
•Vast computational power (with associated sophistication of
information technology) has become affordable and widely available.
This capability makes it possible to harvest useful information from
actual patient care (as opposed to one-time studies), something that
previously was impossible.
•Connectivity allows that power to be accessed in real time virtually
anywhere by professionals and patients, permitting unprecedented
diffusion of information cheaply, quickly, and on demand.
•Progress in human and organizational capabilities and management
science can improve the reliability and efficiency of care, permitting
more scientific deployment of human and technical
resources to match the complexity of systems and institutions.
•Increasing empowerment of patients unleashes the potential for
their participation, in concert with clinicians, in the prevention and
treatment of disease—tasks that increasingly depend on personal
behavior change.”
