How do we do it?

Health analytics involves the analysis of the data using quantitative and qualitative techniques to explore trends and patterns. Analytics involves collecting, managing, analyzing, and interpreting data into accurate, reliable, and timely information, which can be used in decision-making across multiple sectors and industries.

Data are just a bunch of numbers, and information systems are inefficient unless it used correctly them and put to meaningful use for decision makers and stakeholders.
