Compilation of content from multiple analytics experts edited by Dwight McNeill, a healthcare analytics thought-leader.Have had the pleasure of working with Dwight on the Int'l. Inst. of Analytics Healthcare & Life Sciences Advisory Council.Some very useful frameworks are provided including: Heatlhcare Analytics Continuum - figure 6.1, Healthcare Analytics "Needscape" (analytics taxonomy) - figure 6.2, an employer healthcare program analytics map (another analytics taxonomy) - figure 24.2.Chapter 7 Analytics Cheat Sheet is a must read for any organization striving to move toward more advanced analytics; could be a small book in itself!

A thorough review of a very broad and complex business area - Health Care and Life Sciences represents the intersection point of rich social media type data and the human genetic code. The opportunities to use analytics to improve quality of life and reduce costs are huge.

The book does a very good job of covering all the use cases for analytics in healthcare at a high level; geared towards the healthcare professional; as a business intelligence practitioner - excited to take deeper dive with next book: Practical Predictive Analytics and Decisioning Systems for Medicine: Informatics Accuracy and Cost-Effectiveness for Healthcare Administration and Delivery Including Medical Research (http://www..com/Practical-Predictive-Analytics-Decisioning-Medicine/dp/0124116434/ref=pd_rhf_pe_p_img_3)

Really liked the areas on KPIs in Chapter 8 on business value, especially “Actionability Matrix”.Good references for additional KPI and metric resources.
