Healthcare costs can spin out of control easily. Misallocation of resources can quickly bring down quality of care, and the evidence for this is sharply increasing. Therefore, it is another challenge to utilize data efficiently and visualize data effectively [1,2]. Analytics is the systematic use of data with business insights to drive fact-based decision making for planning, management, measurement, and learning; it has been developed through applied analytical disciplines, such as statistical, contextual, quantitative, predictive, cognitive, and other emerging models [2,3]. In addition, analytics uses descriptive and predictive or prescriptive models to gain meaningful information and finally obtain valuable knowledge from data [4]. Analytics, therefore, should not be considered as an individual analysis or one analysis step [3]. Analytics in healthcare also exists in the same context. At this time, it is necessary for healthcare organizations to build analytics competencies to harness ‘right data’ beyond ‘big data’ to obtain business insights, improve outcomes, and reduce wasted time. Research by the MIT Sloan Management Review revealed the following three specific analytics capabilities segments [5]: • Aspirational organizations New or limited users of analytics Focused on analytics at point-of-need Turn to analytics for ways to cut costs • Experienced organizations Established users of analytics Healthcare Analytics for Quality and Performance Improvement
