Data science helps support digital transformation and enhances the patient experience, says Tammy Kwiatkoski, director of clinical informatics at HIMSS, who discusses the importance of nurse informaticians in healthcare.

The multiyear partnership will see the 63-hospital Tennessee health system deploying an array of analytics tools to advance patient care and boost population health.
