Healthcare executives investing more in data analytics, AI

Editor's Note

A survey by NewVantage Partners finds that 77% of healthcare executives are increasing investments in big data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI), according to the January 4 HealthIT Analytics. Disruptive forces and industry competitors are the major motivators for the increase.

Nearly 80% of data analytics leaders say their organizations still struggle with data analytics and AI adoption, and 92.5% list cultural and organizational resistance as major barriers.

The 2019 version of the survey represented executives from nearly 65 companies, and healthcare organizations participated at higher rates than in previous years, the report notes.
