Dive Brief:
- Increasingly, financial success for healthcare organizations calls for providers to use high-end analytics tools to spot trends and reveal opportunities for quality improvement.
- However, a new survey of health IT professionals has concluded few health organizations have achieved the level of analytics sophistication required to meet these goals.
- According to a survey by Health Catalyst, six out of 10 respondents rated their own organizations' maturity in analytics adoption at between zero and two on a scale of nine.
Dive Insight:
If this study does anything, it demonstrates that it's much easier to think something is a good idea and actually do it. At present, only 2.6% of survey respondents rated the organization they work for as having achieved one of the top two levels of analytics adoption. Clearly, health organizations have a lot of work to do to bring their analytics capabilities up to stuff.
