There are two major roadblocks for analytics in healthcare, says Sriram Vishwanath, professor of engineering and data science at University of Texas, Austin.

Fewer than half of healthcare organizations participating in a recent survey are currently using C&BI tools. But HIMSS Analytics anticipates that the shift to value-based care and advances in predictive and prescriptive analytics technologies could change that in the near-term.

The research and advocacy group is calling upon data scientists and computational analysts to leverage its database to expand understanding of the disease.

The confluence of new care models and technology are enabling data scientists to pinpoint gaps in access to care, address social determinants of health, and map data that informs tactics to improve outcomes at the patient and population level.

Advances in precision medicine hold great promise for treating diseases on an individualized basis and for the general population.
