Today data is a valuable asset in every organization, especially in healthcare industry. For example, with data about number of patients by location, hospital shall have the ability to offer more services to take care of them rapidly by building more medical stataion. Or with doctor's workload you know how to start hiring more human resources to balance the workload. With Office 365 - a digital workplace platform and PowerBI - a business intelligence and analytics on Microsoft Cloud service, let's have a look at how the digital transformation is initiated for healthcare industry.

17. Healthcare Digital
Transformation

18. Healthcare’s Digital Transformation
• Healthcare Digital Transformation is
not just a technology.
• Healthcare Digital Transformation is
much of business intelligence and
data-driven analytics for patient
history, clinical medicine, physician
performance, EHR, EMR… and more.
• Healthcare Digital Transformation
starts by extracting existing data into
actionable insights.
• Patient and Data-Driven are key
drivers to the transformation

19. Four key digital themes for healthcare
Smart Care
Smart care will improve patient outcomes
and lower the cost of healthcare through
the use of precision medicine, robotics and
medical printing
Care anywhere
Care anywhere will see healthcare move
closer to the home, through advances in the
connected home and virtual care, which will
also help broaden access, especially in
maturing economies
Empowered care
Empowered care, through the development
of “living services”, will enable citizens to
take a more active role in managing their
own well-being and healthcare
Intelligent health enterprise
Intelligent health enterprise will provide
data-driven solutions that enable healthcare
workers and their enterprises to maximize
their efficiency and allow patient health to
be monitored more effectively in real time.

20. What is Healthcare Analytics?
“Health care analytics is a term used to describe the healthcare
analysis activities that can be undertaken as a result of data collected
from four areas within healthcare; claims and cost data,
pharmaceutical and research and development (R&D) data, clinical
data (collected from electronic medical records (EHRs)), and patient
behavior and sentiment data (patient behaviors and preferences,
(retail purchases e.g. data captured in running stores)” - Wikipedia

21. Data-Driven Healthcare
• Make data to be meaningful for
• Descriptive analytics (describing what
has happened).
• Predictive analytics (predicting what
will happen)
• Prescriptive analytics (determining
what to do about it)

22. Some cases with initiative of analytics
• Projecting expected volume of patients
• Estimation or prediction of patient volume
• Patient wait time for consulting
• In-queue time for the emergency room
• Performance Analysis
• Automated monitoring of Employees (doctor,
nurse, paramedics..)
• Number of completed cases….
• Predicting staffing need
• Heathcare Operation
• Hospital Revenue
• Case Staticstic and Report
• Offer better patient experience
• Personalized experiences
• Easy syncing with their own mobile devices
• Remote access and homecare

23. Why Power BI for the hospital?
1. Similar experience with Excel
2. Microsoft eco-system
3. Easy to design a visual dashboard
(clinical, hospital revenue, patient,
physician doctor…..)
4. Data transformation is simplified
5. Collaborative dashboard among
physician, nurse and executives.

24. Other seen benefits….
• Fast deployment with a hybrid solution, ease of
maintenance and 99.9% uptime SLA
• Live connection to your data sources, on-premises
and in the cloud
• Keep healthcare & patient data secure, use groups
to manage access and sharing.
• Integrated with familiar Microsoft products, utilizes
infrastructure, scale and availability in Azure &
Office 365
• Open APIs for integration and new scenarios, e.g.
real-time insights from IoT connected devices.
• Content delivery (dashboards, report, models) for
ease of consumption across hospital

39. Power BI Architecture

40. Connect live to your on-premises data

41. Share report via SharePoint Online
• Embed HTML source code to
general SharePoint Web Part
• Modern Page supports Power BI
(preview) Web part
• Use Power BI JavaScript API
(https://microsoft.github.io/PowerB
I-JavaScript/).
• Permission is still controlled by
Power BI
• Require Power BI Pro license

42. Data Analytics with R in Power BI
• Support R programming with R
chart in Power BI Desktop.
• Support R-powered custom
visual(e.g., timer series forecasting
chart)
(http://app.powerbi.com/visuals)
• Python Script is not supported.

43. Power BI Security Consideration
• Power BI is added to Microsoft
Trust Center which complies
which HIPPA and HITECH Act
(USA).
• Power BI uses Azure Active
Directory (AAD) to authenticate
users.
• Data is stored in Azure BLOB
and Azure SQL Database.
• Power BI Desktop Privacy
• Look for Power BI Security
Whitepaper for more details

44. Key takeaways
• Greater visibility on patient data, physician and nurse performance,
medical population and station.
• Monitor hospital and healthcare quality indicators.
• Visual report of cases (location, type of case….)
• Integrate with multiple data sources from healthcare systems (e.g.
EMR, EHR, PHR….)
• Initiative to healthcare data analytics and data science (e.g. using R
to model data…)
• First step to exploring data and step up to data science with
Microsoft Stack (Azure ML, Azure Data Factory, Azure SQL Data
Warehouse, Azure HD Insight).
