Summary Using Predictive Analytics to Improve Healthcare Outcomes delivers a 16-step process to use predictive analytics to improve operations in the complex industry of healthcare.

This includes: A thorough introduction to data, caring theory, Relationship-Based Care, the Caring Behaviors Assurance System, and healthcare operations, including how to build a measurement model and improve organizational outcomes; An exploration of analytics in action, including comprehensive case studies on patient falls, palliative care, infection reduction, reducing rates of readmission for heart failure, and more - all resulting in action plans allowing clinicians to make changes that have been proven in advance to result in positive outcomes; Discussions of how to refine quality improvement initiatives, including the use of "comfort" as a construct to illustrate the importance of solid theory and good measurement in adequate pain management; and an examination of international organizations using analytics to improve operations within cultural context
