provide powerful new insight into what's working and what isn't," said Dwight Carter, CIO of the Dallas Fort Worth Hospital Council. "New analytics technology makes it possible to see important health trends and allow physicians and hospitals to design more effective treatments. As hospitals become more interconnected in the future, this will be an especially powerful tool for hospitals, physicians and patients alike."

Advanced analytics can help health care providers examine large volumes of data and provide deep analytics across multiple facilities, physicians and patient groups. For example, by de-identifying patient information and examining treatment plans and outcomes among thousands of diabetes patients across the region, analytics can be used to track which facilities have the most success in improving patient outcomes and identifying the unique drug combinations, modifications and care approaches that other providers should take to help make patients healthier.

This type of technology can also be used to better understand how patients use medical services and explore patterns of potentially unnecessary care and opportunities for improving patient safety or quality of care. In the IBM Health Analytics Center, a number of key innovations in health IT to help clients are available including the IBM Health Integration Framework, enterprise health analytics, health payer analytics, data integration, patient portals, remote patient monitoring, preventative care and Patient Centered Medical Home technologies.

IBM has worked with a number of leading hospitals such as Duke University Medical Center, Geisinger Health System, Mayo Clinic, New York's Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the University of North Carolina to advance health analytics technology. The Dallas-based Health Analytics Solution Center brings together this depth of experience into one location for the first time.
