How important is Power BI for the healthcare industry
The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic compelled the healthcare industry to be on its feet. It ultimately challenged the healthcare sector to undergo a dramatic change, from the reinvention of health-related facilities to the utmost transparency in delivering patient care while undermining the ongoing resilience to the crisis.
In fact, the healthcare industry is transforming into a data-driven world now, as it generates a lot of data from EMR, CRM, HMS, outpatient registrations, labs, pharmacy reports, claims, patient billing, memberships and more. Although there is a huge amount of data available, the insightful information they offer is less. This is where adopting a healthcare dashboard in Power BI would be of great help.
