3 Data Management Lessons Healthcare Should Learn from Other Industries

Healthcare could learn from the data improvement strategies that other industries have implemented in the past decade, a new report said. For example, the military, aerospace industry and aviation sector have all developed ways to standardize data, decrease silos and make information more accessible between organizations. The healthcare industry hasn’t quite figured out yet an effective way to manage the vast profusion of data being shared between providers, payers, digital health startups and government agencies. Anyone working in the sector could probably point to lingering challenges like data overload, siloed information and disparate data accuracy standards. Historically, healthcare’s progress when it comes to technology and data management has lagged behind other industries. As the sector continues to struggle with its data management and usage, healthcare stakeholders should learn from the data improvement strategies that other industries have implemented in the past decade, according to a report recently published by healthcare data enablement company Intelligent Medical Objects.
