With the advancements in promoting health and increasing life expectancy, health sector is encountering new and critical challenges. Expectations of the quality of healthcare services had been changed and became one of the top five national strategies in many countries.
The increased longevity heavily influenced health expenditures. Also, competition in providing healthcare services (in both public and private sectors). These factors made healthcare into a very challenging industry. The volume of the medical data produced is progressively increasing. Transforming these data into knowledge and wisdom for health promotion and optimization of cost management requires new solutions. Intelligent analysis of data and proper use of Business Intelligence is one of these solutions.
Business Intelligence is a technology that enables processing and demonstrating useful information. This information will lead to better administrative and business decisions. Based on the implementation model, BI can be used for operational, administrative and strategic purposes.
It should be noted that still human factor, as the ultimate beneficiary of BI systems, remains the main decision-maker.
