Discussion#7: (Innovative Best Practice Healthcare Management)

Consider the readings for this module, particularly the two Mester (2016) readings, the Islam, Hasan, Wang, Germack, and Alam (2018) article and optionally the Lehrer, Wieneke, Vom Brocke, Jung, and Seidel (2018)articles. Next, examine the Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Hospital Profile and Application. The questions that you are asked to answer is: To what extent has Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Hospital (or, if you wish, any of the other winners that we have examined so far in the course) used big data analytics as part of their innovation process? What were the results, if any? Finally, what additional data analytics techniques might they employ to enhance their performance, and applied to what healthcare applications? Be specific.
