The Connected Well

The sorts of questions that oil and gas managers
need answers to is driving the need for ever more sophisticated analysis. Moving from descriptive analytics which answer the question “What happened?” to diagnostic analytics which address “Why did it happen?”. Once companies have that information, it would be natural to want to understand “When will
it happen again?” (predictive analytics). And finally, companies will also want to find out “What should happen?” (prescriptive analytics) in certain scenarios, so that they can get repeatable results.

Risk Scoring Big Data and Data Analytics

Many healthcare organizations currently utilize a Risk Scoring program as part of doing business. Health insurance companies, for example, calculate one Risk Score for each member to reserve for risk-adjusted payments to Medicare Advantage and Health Insurance Exchange plans. While the calculation of one Risk Score per member is effective for the distribution of risk-adjusted payments, it lacks insight into a member’s medical needs. The current methodology fails to provide a complete picture of members’ health and serves as more of a reactive than preventative tool.

Data and Analytics Strategy
