Expanding analytics adoption in healthcare can be beneficial at the time when any catastrophe happens but healthcare services are unable to respond. Series of disasters struck coast to coast in US with hurricanes devastating people and property. They exposed the vulnerability of essential patient care during such emergencies. The only way to improve responsive efforts towards better healthcare is to apply IoT-enabled analytics (HAAM– Healthcare Analytics Adoption Model).

Several obstacles continue to be major pain points in implementing technical data related to patients’ medical records. Moreover, we need to know the best ways to tackle emergencies successfully with technology. Healthcare information organization is the procedure of studying all the information collected from numerous foundations. These aids the healthcare organizations treat their patients in an all-inclusive manner, deliver modified treatments and improve health consequences.

Pain points when disasters strike

In the past, when hurricanes ravaged cities resulting in natural calamities, paper-based records were destroyed, thus making it difficult for healthcare professionals to respond to high-risk patients. When information is lost, everything else is lost. The Federal government realized it way back in 2015 to pass the upgraded version of the Health Information for Economic and Clinical Health Act. With the advent of healthcare information exchanges, it is responsive efforts to critical patients have increased. Ever since Katrina devastated the US coasts, the expansive nature of analytics has proved to be useful for various healthcare teams. The tele-health platform is now trending. It is time for everyone to overcome the pain points and make healthy investments in data analytics.

Critical analytic investment

It all begins with a data governance structure that supports the responsive efforts. Everyone related to emergency treatments should be trained to use advanced tools for data access. They need to crack down barriers including mental blocks to understand how data will be analyzed during disasters, medical emergencies and also in normal circumstances. Expanding analytics tools like ‘emPowerhelps’ patients also to access their records. Back in 2013, high-risk patients who required oxygen were treated on time with its availability. Investment in this essential system will soon become mandatory across the country.

Expansive tools require education

Medical professionals need to overcome barriers before adopting technological tools to treat patients or even deal with suppliers. Take a look at the diagram below to understand how data sharing between different groups can benefit by applying advanced cloud-based tools:

The approach to expansive analytics adoption is increasing considering its effectiveness in natural calamities and medical emergencies.

Overcome multiple challenges with IoT-enabled processes

Many Americans are not really happy with the healthcare systems available in the country. As 2018 ends, there are chances of their faith being restored with the adoption of new systems mainly IoT and Data Analytics. There is a distinct disruptive force that is sweeping patient care. Technology-based tools are a dominant feature even though the environment is complex. They are assisting in integrating different data for patients, doctors, suppliers and other medical staff.

Already other industries are using predictive analytics to improve production, revenues and business intelligence. The use of interoperability, machine learning, and other enabled apps are driving innovations. It is critical for companies to build a solid platform that can handle the adoption of trending data management for better services and products. It would be truly disastrous if industry leaders fail their patients with outdated skills, ineffective responsiveness or obsolete tools.
