HIMSS Analytics Survey Sponsored by Dimensional Insight Finds Only 1 out of 5 Healthcare Organizations Using Analytics for Population Health

- BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, May 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Dimensional Insight®, the maker of Diver Platform™, a data management and analytics solution, today announced the results of a survey it conducted with HIMSS Analytics of 110 senior healthcare leaders. The survey found that while most healthcare organizations say they are using analytics in clinical areas, purely clinical projects are not a top area of focus for many organizations. For example, only 1 in 5 healthcare organizations is currently using analytics for population health. Survey results show that: Furthermore, the survey indicated that clinicians (physicians and nurses) are the least empowered within organizations to drive decisions through the use of analytics. "Clinicians will effectively use data for decision-making when it is integrated into their workflows, but that is seldom the case at this point," says George Dealy, vice president of healthcare solutions at Dimensional Insight. "The projects that healthcare organizations can more easily wrap their arms around are those that might use clinical data – such as for readmissions improvement – but are focused on improving processes that have financial implications as opposed to directly improving patient care."
