I just came across a great article that someone posted on LinkedIn. Great link and the title speaks for itself:
What the hell is Analytics Anyways?
This article puts the world of analytics in lay mans terms: cites real world examples that anyone can identify with. These examples include:
- The world of sports
- Love
- Business
- and.... HEALTHCARE!
Key takeaway: The amount of data collected is growing at an EXPONENTIAL rate. We need to continue to find ways to keep up with the data: through tracking and analyzing. This data can be the key to improved outcomes!
