This document discusses how predictive analytics and big data can help improve healthcare systems. By 2020, healthcare is projected to be characterized by enhanced diagnosis, precision care delivery, and expanded patient self-service, driven by intelligent operations infrastructure using predictive and prescriptive analytics. Predictive analytics can help support clinical research, improve disease management and patient care quality, increase efficiency, and combat healthcare fraud. The document also discusses using search engine queries to detect influenza epidemics.
