Washington, D.C. (May 9, 2016) – Johns Hopkins University Medical School announced that medical errors are the 3rd cause of death in America. A book titled Clinical Intelligence: The Big Data Analytics Revolution in Healthcare reveals data-driven methods to predict and prevent medical errors. The book applies big data analytics methods such as machine learning to clinical data, in order to improve healthcare quality and reduce costs.

“Prediction is a powerful tool that allows practitioners apply preventive measures”, said the author, Peter Ghavami, Ph.D. He added “There is a clear under-investment in the industry to use information technology and in particular data analytics to eliminate medical errors. We can prevent escalating medical conditions, medication errors and procedure mistakes by predicting them before they occur, using big data analytics techniques with clinical data.”
Several universities have announced their intent to adopt Clinical Intelligence as standard text book for graduate courses in Public Health Management and Data Analytics.

The book includes 10 chapters that study the application of data analytics to medical, data mining, clinical and healthcare data. Each chapter covers a wide range of topics from data curation, data visualization, health quality metrics, financial coding optimization, medical prediction, population health management, clinical pathways, medical coding automation and fraud detection.
