Data-Driven Healthcare
Not yet published
Expected 15 Jan 26What if the solution to healthcare's biggest challenges is already in our hands?
An astonishingly vast amount of patient data collected today remains unused - a critical missed opportunity that could change the way we think about clinical care.
In Data-Driven Healthcare, Chris May, founder of leading digital healthcare company Mayden, presents a compelling roadmap for harnessing this information to create truly personalised, outcome-driven care that puts patients first.
Drawing on his unique, cross-industry perspective, May challenges healthcare professionals, service managers, and lead clinicians to reimagine how data can improve patient outcomes and streamline care delivery.
This essential guide explores how by using data to optimise workflows, design structured clinical pathways, and create intelligent, interconnected platforms, we can revolutionise healthcare in a way that will benefit generations to come.
The future of healthcare is full of promise. By making better use of the data and tools already at our fingertips, we have a real opportunity to drive meaningful progress, even as we navigate legacy systems and the shift towards more digital ways of working.
Data-Driven Healthcare is a vital read for anyone ready to embrace the power of data and digitisation in healthcare.
It’s time to unlock the untapped potential of healthcare data and transform patient care forever.
