Machine Learning in the Health Care Industry: Homing In on the KPIs That Matter

Burdened by an overabundance of KPIs, the health care sector can look to machine learning to force a focus on the metrics that matter most. Health care is an industry where innovation predominates and demands for greater accountability have intensified. In this enormous, complex, and highly regulated sector, there is much to measure to improve patient outcomes, lower costs, and maintain trust. Importantly, concerns over patient privacy increasingly dominate discussions about using first-party data. Organizations increasingly confront the challenge of keeping their key performance indicators (KPIs) from becoming unwieldy and unmanageable.
