Healthcare data comes from various sources like electronic health records, personal health records, and health apps. Data analytics in healthcare represents automating the collection, processing, and analysis of complex healthcare data to provide insights and help practitioners make informed decisions. There are different types of analytics used in healthcare to address challenges like ever-changing medicine, mixed data sources, and emerging regulations. Examples include using analytics to speed up insurance claims submission by preparing them faster with fewer errors and predicting suicide attempts by classifying patients into risk groups.

7. Examples
• Speeding up insurance claims submission: It help hospitals to prepare
insurance claimsfasterwhile minimizingerrors.
• Predicting suicide attempts:predictive analytics in healthcare tool classified
patients into 8 groups based on their estimated risk factor. The VUMC research team
noticed that the highest-risk group accounted for over 33% of all suicide attempts.
The team concluded that anyone who is placed into the high-risk groups should be
checkedfor suicidal tendencies.
