Description
What information do you need to see to drive growth and improve the bottom line in your practice? Identifying right information to be delivered at the right time to the right people can be a game changer for the performance of medical practices.
Business intelligence (BI) is not just a fancy name applied to the same old canned reports from disparate data sources. BI, when done correctly, drives practice performance. It delivers mission-critical data exactly when it is needed without manual sorting through pages and pages and columns and columns of data. True BI combines data from two or more discrete datasets to provide a more dimensional view of the data. For instance, combining upcoming appointments with historical clinical data or front desk collections with staffing data produces reports that can offer guidance to support real-time decisions and actions. This book is full of techniques to combine data to deliver actionable insights and drive performance that can be applied to each unique practice situation. The results lead to a more efficient, profitable, flexible, and responsive medical practice that delivers higher quality patient care.
THIS BOOK WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH THE STRATEGIES TO:
-
Design more efficient staff models
- Predict gaps in provider schedules
- Track and diagnose common errors for denied claims
- Optimize referral patterns
- Track delinquent patient payment
- Monitor Medicare quality codes
- And much more

Reviews
Nate is once again on the cutting edge of the healthcare technology curve. The truth is, MS Excel can’t handle the new stream of big data and Access lacks the power and processing speed. SQL is the perfect solution as it combines the ability to manage massive databases with built-in mathematical and statistical formulae to make it through any analysis. And when it comes to business intelligence and the creation of custom reports and dashboards, SQL is the only game in town. Kudos to Nate for bringing his knowledge and experience as a SQL programmer to the forefront. This book is not just for data analysts and scientists, but for anyone in leadership that needs to take their business intelligence up to the next level.
