With the Covid-19 battle as a backdrop, many are recognizing the need for vendors of medical systems and medical devices to step up their efforts in their ability to collect and make available data that can be used to inform retrospective clinical decisions.
As we, the healthcare community, all watch – and experience – the evolving situation of the coronavirus pandemic, we’ve been introduced to Dr. Deborah Birx, a recognized expert and leader in HIV/AIDS immunology, vaccine research and global health. Today, she has become a rising leader in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. If Dr. Birx has taught us anything in this fight, it is that data is king and that informed decisions are always better decisions.
In the battle against coronavirus, Dr. Birx and her team of data analysts examine who has the virus, where they reside, how many are hospitalized and who appears to be the most vulnerable to this disease. All of these data points help inform critical decisions around how to mitigate the spread of the virus, how to treat those severely impacted by it and even how to anticipate where critical (but limited) resources such as ventilators, personal protective equipment (PPE), hospital beds and healthcare providers will be needed next.

In the months since COVID-19 has evolved from a blip on the world’s radar to a full-blown global health crisis, the virus has managed to shine a glaring light on some of healthcare’s most foundational cracks.
Gaps in care, disparate IT systems, and clinician burnout have become all the more visible in the midst of confusion and uncertainty, and stakeholders have realized that their response efforts may have to go beyond the current pandemic.
As the US continues to monitor the spread of coronavirus and the country starts to think about relaxing social distancing measures, healthcare leaders are examining their abilities to mitigate the impact of this outbreak now and going forward.
For many organizations, this will mean implementing or enhancing artificial intelligence and data analytics in healthcare.
AI and data analytics have featured largely in the healthcare industry’s line of defense against COVID-19. Researchers have leveraged these tools to do everything from tracking hospital capacity to identifying high-risk patients, and many believe that these technologies are critical to preparing for similar situations in the future.
