How Data-Backed Decision Making Is Changing the Medical Industry.

With the ever-growing amount of data available, decision making is becoming more quantitative. Data backed decisions can help a clinic make better decisions and reduce decision fatigue by cutting down on the guesswork. There are many factors that go into every medical treatment: efficacy, side effects, patient response to drug therapies, and lifestyle. The combination of these variables means there are often multiple ways to treat an illness or injury. By utilizing insights from previous patients with similar diagnoses, clinics can streamline processes.

These insights are not just valuable for patient's health but can also but used to gain better insights into the clinic as a whole. Allowing stakeholders to have better information on medicine-focused trends allows for earlier diagnosis of ailments such as Parvo or k9-Influenza. This could save the patient and clinic time and costs from infections that can be avoided with early prevention.

Why specifically these types of insights are so powerful for the medical industry is yet to be proven. But there is no doubt in our minds that using data to make decisions will have a lasting effect on the industry, especially while it's struggling with a shortage of staff.
