How Predictive Analytics, Patient IDs Can Improve the Care Experience

In an industry as high-stakes and uncertain as healthcare, predictive analytics tools and patient identifiers have emerged as viable solutions for seamless, comprehensive care delivery.

These tactics can help organizations better understand and anticipate patients’ needs, enabling them to deliver necessary services and improve patient outcomes.

The health system can also forecast patients’ needs based on the care experiences of similar patients, Parris noted.

Using predictive analytics tools, providers were able to see days ahead of time which facility had a high chance of experiencing patient surges. The organization could direct resources to the places that needed them, avoiding any potential staffing or equipment shortages.

Going forward, the health system expects to continue refining predictive tools and patient matching to be able to improve the care experience.
