Patient-Centric Analytics in Health Care

Driving Value in Clinical Settings and Psychological Practice

Gregory J. Privitera and James J. Gillespie

In Patient-Centric Analytics in Health Care: Driving Value in Clinical Settings and Psychological Practice, James J. Gillespie and Gregory J. Privitera introduce a framework that explores the utility of analytics for managing care that is based on six key inputs of the health care system: patients, policy makers, providers, pharmacies, pharmaceuticals, and payers. Understanding the roles of these 6 P’s and the utility of analytics to promote data-driven decision models can lead to new innovations. These improvements can enhance quality, increase access, and reduce costs, and thereby drive value for the most important stakeholders in health care: the patients. As the accessibility and volume of data continues to increase, there is a growing desire to utilize data to guide and optimize decision-making in health care environments. There is a wealth of data in health care organizations and much of it is not fully utilized. In today’s climate, these organizations are under increased regulatory and financial pressures to deliver measurable value, particularly as it relates to the quality of patient care in clinical and diagnostic settings. This book includes short contributions from practitioners, including Laurie Branch, Puneet Chahal, Patrick C. Cunningham, Star* Cunningham, Matthew Dreckmeier, Joseph P. Gaspero, Sherri Matis-Mitchell, Gail Mayeaux, Edwin K. Morris, Plamen Petrov, Steven Press, Andrew J. Privitera, Derek Walton, and Daniel Yunker.

Reviews

Patient-Centric Analytics in Health Care is a well-written book that has the perfect balance between basic analytics and practical application. It is easy to read, organized, and informative, and it simplifies concepts and eschews statistical and methodological jargon. I highly recommend this book if you have any interest in healthcare analytics.

This book is perfectly timed to address how healthcare cannot only react to, but also shape, the new landscape that patients and providers must navigate for improved care and outcomes. Service is the backbone of healthcare and by interpreting the data that are collected, we can improve upon the patient's experience. Privitera's & Gillespie's text provides the framework for healthcare agencies and providers to follow to ensure that care is patient centered amidst the financial frenzy.
