Mapping Software - Cutting the Cord of Analysis Paralysis in Healthcare Industry

NAPERVILLE, Ill. - Sept. 19, 2014 - PRLog -- Healthcare is one of the industries today that generate a large volume of data. Visionaries have concluded that it uses up to 30% of data and will continue to increase towards 2015. Since data is flooding, healthcare professionals are looking for ways to use data to get useful information to benefit the industry. Unfortunately, a lot of technology tools fall short in meeting the growing epidemic brought by understanding data to provide actionable insight which often results in analysis paralysis. What they need is a tool that can help them understand the data without them being overwhelmed by irrelevance - a tool that is simple and easy to use and can access everywhere.

Mapline, a mapping software, is one of the most sought after tools that healthcare companies use. Best in providing exceptional data visualization through maps, it lets the users analyze every data point in every direction in half the time. When healthcare industry is more equipped with data-driven insights, a better approach in caring patients can be applied. The right mapping programs provide actionable insights to separate problem from timely solutions.

By using different mapping features, here are some ways on how the healthcare industry generate insight useful to businesses using Mapline:

1.) Utilize data. With data coming from different factors, Mapline encourages its users to create a map where data can be best utilized. Prepare an Excel spreadsheet of different data sets (state, nationwide or proprietary). Other factors may include geography, demography, clinical capability, and others. When these factors are plotted on a map, analysis can be made faster.

2.) Find predictors. Understanding the relationship between data sets is essential to data-driven analysis. Maps can powerfully capture information to identify risks and opportunities for improvement. Mapline makes it even more easier for its users to analyze even all data sets are plotted on the map because it automatically assign different pins to different data sets. Thus, connection is more identifiable.

3.) Generate actionable insights. Data analysis is important to healthcare industry much more so it can deliver insight that can be immediately understandable and useful. Minutes matter in health care, thus there is no time for endless reports that can only bring frustration instead of benefit. Mapline’s draw pad makes it possible for its users to analyze the data faster. It can be used in different areas like if they want to analyze certain percentages of patients most at risk, or hospitals with the most number of readmissions, and others.

4.) Heatmapping - putting the end of pages of analytical reporting. Usability may be the most important feature of a technology tool. Reading every manual is very tedious to healthcare professionals. Fortunately, Mapline makes heatmapping in just about 3 minutes - the most amount of effort needed by professionals to further data analysis.

5.) Monitor the constant change of data. In healthcare, data changes in a snap and to monitor it accordingly, sharing the maps with department heads will help monitor the constant change in your data.

Data is valuable in healthcare industry. Digging out the information using Mapline’s mapping tools is  valuable as it cuts the cord of analysis paralysis as it presents different simple ways where the industry can best use data-driven information.
