To summarize, it can be stated that, healthcare organizations
are swimming in an ever-deeper pool of data. Without
the system that is responsible for collecting, providing and
analyzing the most relevant data, these organizations will
not be able to use these data in practice and healthcare
organizations can still be rich in data but poor in
information.
Healthcare organizations are realizing that the data and
Business Intelligence (BI) systems are crucial in making
decisions process that will improve the patients outcomes
and quality of medical services.
Moreover, to achieve the full benefits of BI healthcare
organizations must assemble a strategic approach to decision
making in solving every day, tactical problems. The greatest
benefits and improvements can be made based on historical
data collected from financial systems, operational and
clinical systems. It should be noted that the main objective
of BI systems implementation in healthcare organizations is
still to reduce costs, instead of the further improvement of
medical necessity
