  • What is True Predictive Analytics

    What is True Predictive Analytics
    Jan 18 2022
    Predictive analytics are key to improving healthcare outcomes, identifying what things relate to or even predict and outcome of interest such as falls, infections, length of hospital stay, and so on. The term “predictive analytics” is a “hot” trend in healthcare today, but often misunderstood or, unfortunately, just hype. The aim of this episode is to provide listeners tangible ways to evaluate if a service or product is actually using true predictive analytics. In this episode, Dr. John Nelson describes the basics of what are true predictive analytics, what questions should be asked when considering a product or service, and how informaticists and leaders can begin using predictive analytics to improve outcomes.

    Creating a Strategy for Success in Healthcare Leadership - Part 2
    Oct 11 2021
    In this second part on leadership strategy, your host, John Nelson, continues the conversation with Kay Kennedy and Lucy Leclerc from uLeadership. They discuss how having a measure that is specified for the content being taught, which in this case is leadership, creates a greater likelihood that what is being taught can be studied in predictive analytics to study outcomes. The discussion includes the plan to connect relationship centered leadership to outcomes within the organization. Kay and Lucy also share about how a program of caring for self grew out of their leadership program, given it such a dramatic need for both healthcare leaders and staff. How does caring for self relate to outcomes? Dr. Nelson reviews his research in this and relates it to the program presented in this episode.
