Big Data and Health Analytics (Hardcover)

Data availability is surpassing existing paradigms for governing, managing, analyzing, and interpreting health data. Big Data and Health Analytics provides frameworks, use cases, and examples that illustrate the role of big data and analytics in modern health care, including how public health information can inform health delivery.

Written for health care professionals and executives, this is not a technical book on the use of statistics and machine-learning algorithms for extracting knowledge out of data, nor a book on the intricacies of database design. Instead, this book presents the current thinking of academic and industry researchers and leaders from around the world.

Using non-technical language, this book is accessible to health care professionals who might not have an IT and analytics background. It includes case studies that illustrate the business processes underlying the use of big data and health analytics to improve health care delivery.

Highlighting lessons learned from the case studies, the book supplies readers with the foundation required for further specialized study in health analytics and data management. Coverage includes community health information, information visualization which offers interactive environments and analytic processes that support exploration of EHR data, the governance structure required to enable data analytics and use, federal regulations and the constraints they place on analytics, and information security.

Links to websites, videos, articles, and other online content that expand and support the primary learning objectives for each major section of the book are also included to help you develop the skills you will need to achieve quality improvements in health care delivery through the effective use of data and analytics.

數據的可用性已超越了現有的健康數據治理、管理、分析和解讀範式。《大數據與健康分析》提供了框架、應用案例和示例，以說明大數據和分析在現代醫療中的作用，包括公共衛生信息如何影響健康服務的提供。

這本書針對醫療專業人士和高管，不是一本關於使用統計和機器學習算法從數據中提取知識的技術書籍，也不是一本關於數據庫設計細節的書籍。相反，這本書呈現了來自世界各地學術和行業研究人員和領導者的當前思想。

本書使用非技術性的語言，適合沒有IT和分析背景的醫療專業人士閱讀。它包括案例研究，以說明使用大數據和健康分析改善醫療服務的業務流程。

通過案例研究中的經驗教訓，本書為讀者提供了進一步專業研究健康分析和數據管理所需的基礎。內容包括社區健康信息、信息可視化（提供交互環境和分析過程，支持對電子健康記錄數據的探索）、實現數據分析和使用所需的治理結構、聯邦法規及其對分析的限制，以及信息安全。

書中還包含了指向網站、視頻、文章和其他在線內容的鏈接，以擴展和支持每個主要章節的主要學習目標，幫助您通過有效使用數據和分析來實現醫療服務質量的改進所需的技能。
