Health Information Solutions is a consulting business
specializing in information technology and research in the health care
industry and public health.
The present situation of data and information technology in the health care
industry is characterized by the development of large independent data
collection systems developed by different entities for different purposes
using non-standard data elements. At the same time the expertise in
statistical methodology and computer systems required to access and
evaluate collected data increases proportionally. Capturing important
patterns hidden in the data and focusing on those patterns - data mining -
becomes an increasingly challenging task.
A secondary problem is the expense for data collection. Increasingly it
is recognized that it is advantageous to try to pool together information
from several different sources, thereby augmenting the information base
that can be drawn upon without the expense of additional data element collection.
The latter makes necessary the usage of ad hoc and/or probabilistic data record
linkage procedures.
Finally, it is important to make all data accessible to primary decision
makers directly via executive information systems or graphical user
interfaces allowing them to immediately review context sensitive
information without requests to information technology staff members.
In recognizing these issues and the key components of information,
theory, methodology, and data, Health Information Solutions
offers comprehensive solutions for a client’s information needs:
- Data organization/warehousing.
- Data analysis.
- Data presentation display.
- Customized reporting.
- Data extraction and analysis via Graphical User Interfaces (GUI/EIS).
- Data extraction and analysis via the WWW.
The primary tool we use is the Statistical Analysis System for information delivery, a
