Advances in technology have been enhancing the power of research environments for many years. Progress in information infrastructures improves the capability for access to a wider range of data stores and creates analytic and research opportunities which were inconceivable in the past. Improved infrastructure offers better system connectivity and allows analytic models to be customized, linking data from disparate data sets to create innovative perspectives of the world around us. Platform computing has become a mainstay of today's technological advances offering analysts a rich environment for research studies. Business Intelligence (BI) is changing the research environment into a more dynamic system, enabling business users to identify relationships between variables at their discretion. Business users and policy analysts are directly involved with the planning of such systems to expedite quick responses to multi-faceted research questions concerning our health systems.
Learning Objectives: 1.An examination of traditional research models will be compared to new BI research models.
2.What is platform computing and BI and how has it changed research?
3.Planning a research study using BI: it's a team effort.
4.How can BI improve / enhance health systems?
