The big data includes the enormous flow of data from variety of applications that does not fit into the traditional data base. They deal with the storing, managing and manipulating of the data acquired from various sources at an alarming rate to gather valuable insights from it. The big data analytics is used provide with the new and better ideas that pave way to the improvising of the business strategies with its broader, deeper insights and frictionless actions that leads to an accurate and reliable systems. The paper proposes the big data analytics for the improving the strategic assets in the health care industry by providing with the better services for the patients, gaining the satisfaction of the patients and enhancing the customer relationship.

BACKGROUND Monitoring health care activities is the first step for health stakeholders and health professionals to improve quality and performance of health care services. However, monitoring remains a challenge for health care facilities especially in developing countries. Fortunately, advances in business analytics address this need. OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the use of business analytics descriptive techniques on electronic medical records and to describe business analytics adoption challenges in the University Psychiatric Centre (CPU) of Casablanca, Morocco. METHODS Business analytics descriptive techniques were applied on three years electronic medical records of CPU outpatient consultation. Monitored mental health key metrics concern quantitative assessment of acts, mental health disorder’s frequency, psychiatric drugs prescription, health professional’s performance, patient geolocation and outpatient care wait time. Three annual feedback meetings based on business analytics reports took place. RESULTS Over the three monitored years, monthly Medical Record Order Entries (MROE) increased significantly. Physicians improved their personal recording. Schizophrenia, depression and bipolar disorders were noted at the top of diagnosis. Antipsychotics are the most prescribed drugs and an average decrease of 12 minutes per year in outpatient care wait time was noted. CONCLUSIONS Business analytics allowed CPU to monitor mental healthcare outpatient activity and to make informed decisions. Yet, challenges should be addressed to step forward in order to become a data-driven health care facility mainly in the organizational dimension of the decision-making process and in the definition of key metrics in response to strategic needs.

Purpose The private health care sector is seeking to improve their understanding of business processes to be able to improve their performance. The purpose of this paper is to understand the future needs of the private health care sector organizations in terms of business intelligence (BI) and business analytics (BA) to ensure value creation. Design/methodology/approach The four evolution stages of intellectual capital enriched by managerial data-driven approach are used as a framework to point out the future of BI or BA in the private healthcare sector. The research includes private health care organizations, BI vendors and management consultants in Finland. Findings Based on the findings, the private health care is stepping towards a new phase of data-driven decision-making, requiring to change the whole set of mind towards use of data and required capabilities. Moreover, it shows that the future factors of BI varied from practical tools and methods such as predictive and prescriptive analytics along with AI, to more conceptual factors such as social BI co-creation and platforms. Practical implications As an outcome, this study provides an understanding of the role of IC components in the future BI and use of BA as well as provides a valuable insight into the future potential of BI in the private health care sector. Originality/value Data-driven decision-making and seeking for new business opportunities are currently one of the most discussed topics in the private health care sector. By identifying the future opportunities of BI and BA, this study provides a better understanding of the role of IC components and BI in creating potential for new business for private health care.

Purpose Drawing on the resource-based theory and dynamic capability view, this paper aims to examine the mechanisms by which business analytics (BA) capabilities (i.e. the effective use of data aggregation, analytics and data interpretation tools) in healthcare units indirectly influence decision-making effectiveness through the mediating role of knowledge absorptive capacity. Design/methodology/approach Using a survey method, this study collected data from the hospitals in Taiwan. Of the 155 responses received, three were incomplete, giving a 35.84 per cent response rate with 152 valid data points. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypotheses. Findings This study conceptualizes, operationalizes and measures the BA capability as a multi-dimensional construct that is formed by capturing the functionalities of BA systems in health care, leading to the conclusion that healthcare units are likely to obtain valuable knowledge through using the data analysis and interpretation tools effectively. The effective use of data analysis and interpretation tools in healthcare units indirectly influence decision-making effectiveness, an impact that is mediated by absorptive capacity. Originality/value This study adds values to the literature by conceptualizing BA capabilities in healthcare and demonstrating how knowledge absorption matters when implementing BA to the decision-making process. The mediating role of absorptive capacity not only provides a mechanism by which BA can contribute to decision-making practices but also offers a new solution to the puzzle of the IT productivity paradox in healthcare settings.

The Supreme Court

The Supreme Court of California held, in Delaney v. Baker, 82 Cal. Rptr. 2d 610 (1999), that the heightened remedies available under the Elder Abuse Act (Act), Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code, §§ 15657,15657.2 (West 1998), apply to health care providers who engage in reckless neglect of an elder adult. The court interpreted two sections of the Act: (1) section 15657, which provides for enhanced remedies for reckless neglect; and (2) section 15657.2, which limits recovery for actions based on “professional negligence.” The court held that reckless neglect is distinct from professional negligence and therefore the restrictions on remedies against health care providers for professional negligence are inapplicable.Kay Delaney sued Meadowood, a skilled nursing facility (SNF), after a resident, her mother, died. Evidence at trial indicated that Rose Wallien, the decedent, was left lying in her own urine and feces for extended periods of time and had stage I11 and IV pressure sores on her ankles, feet, and buttocks at the time of her death.

In the summer of 1979, a group of experts on law, medicine, and ethics assembled in Siracusa, Sicily, under the auspices of the International Commission of Jurists and the International Institute of Higher Studies in Criminal Science, to draft guidelines on the rights of persons with mental illness. Sitting across the table from me was a quiet, proud man of distinctive intelligence, William J. Curran, Frances Glessner Lee Professor of Legal Medicine at Harvard University. Professor Curran was one of the principal drafters of those guidelines. Many years later in 1991, after several subsequent re-drafts by United Nations (U.N.) Rapporteur Erica-Irene Daes, the text was adopted by the U.N. General Assembly as the Principles for the Protection of Persons with Mental Illness and for the Improvement of Mental Health Care. This was the kind of remarkable achievement in the field of law and medicine that Professor Curran repeated throughout his distinguished career.
