As healthcare evolves at light speed, medical providers and executives turn to health data analytics to make informed decisions about patient care, resource allocations, and operational efficiency. There’s no shortage of data—in fact, the enormous amount of data can be seen as an overwhelming flood. Currently, the healthcare industry generates 30 percent of the planet’s data volume. This figure will reach 36 percent by 2025. The pace of growth is 10 percent faster than financial services. [i] Health information exchange (HIE) organizations aggregate data from disparate systems for use at the point of care. As the largest data movers and aggregators in the healthcare ecosystem, they provide interoperability infrastructure for cities, states, healthcare providers, hospital systems, care managers, long-term care networks, ACOs, public health agencies, payers, national networks, and other data exchange organizations. Healthcare organizations will require new data sets as care delivery shifts further into value-based care models. This demand for more useable data is also driven by the broad adoption of commoditized standards (HL7, CDA, FHIR, etc.) and regulatory hammers such as information blocking and the breakdown of data silos.
