Smarter Healthcare: Using Data Analytics in Healthcare

Webcast Date: October 14, 2009

Healthcare companies are facing a tremendous challenge: how can they understand the voluminous amounts of data that exists within their IT systems, many times in proprietary and unstructured formats? What can companies do to get their arms around this information and not only make the data accessible, but also analyze and understand the implications of the data?

The IBM jStart team, using IBM Information Management LanguageWare technology, has recently partnered with industry leader Health Language Incorporated (HLI) to provide a comprehensive text analytic solution for healthcare companies. This webcast will feature information on how partners can engage their healthcare clients to understand how to leverage data analytics and create immediate business value.
