A New FHIR Analytics Tool from SAS Health

Most data about patients exists in EHRs or other repositories in a variety of legacy formats. Analytics, though, requires you to compare apples and apples. Thus, SAS Health Solutions offers a common data model, ingesting data from disparate sources of FHIR data into the appropriate fields for analysis. Plus, once collected, that data can easily leverage the full suite of SAS analytics tools. Gail Stephens, VP, Health and Life Sciences, explains the uses for SAS Health in this video, her goal being to “get patients to better health, more quickly.” For instance, a clinician can look across a cohort of patients who show similar symptoms in order to speed up a diagnosis, or look across patients geographically to find gaps in care.
