Manage Resources to Ensure Quality of Care

Healthcare organizations today face numerous challenges, including concern about their ability to deliver the quality of care people expect—and the increasing cost of such care.

There is a growing awareness that information technology can play a critical role in meeting some of these challenges. SPSS solutions help researchers, healthcare providers, and “payer” organizations—both private health insurers and public sector programs like Medicare—manage existing resources more efficiently, combat waste and fraud, and achieve their goals.

SPSS solutions enable healthcare organizations to:

• Support medical research: Analyze large, complex datasets easily and efficiently
• Improve disease management: Identify the most effective treatments and therapies for your patients or for the public
• Monitor the quality of patient care: Compare your organization’s practices with regional and national benchmarks and identify areas needing improvement
• Improve operational efficiency: Monitor key performance indicators and strengthen your bottom line
• Maintain accreditation: Support your internal processes for meeting accreditation requirements
• Combat healthcare fraud: Detect changing patterns in fraud, waste, and abuse so you can minimize their impact on your ability to deliver needed care
• Protect public health: Speed the discovery of patterns in disease and facilitate the communication of results through open, interoperable predictive analytics solutions

For more than 38 years, SPSS has helped organizations involved in healthcare collect and analyze data and gain insight. SPSS solutions for healthcare can be found at:

• Five of the seven largest healthcare provider organizations in the U.S.
• 14 of the 16 hospitals on U.S. News & World Report magazine’s 2005 “honor roll”
• More than 300 hospitals in the U.K. NHS Trust system
• The top five private payers in the U.S., who insure more than 150 million consumers
• AXA and BUPA, two of the leading insurers in the U.K.
• Many county, state, and national healthcare agencies, including those serving densely populated areas
• Medical researchers at numerous universities and public health agencies, including those conducting research on genomics and other groundbreaking therapies
• Leading medical associations and not-for-profit foundations

SPSS’ leadership in predictive analytics benefits healthcare organizations by helping them understand current conditions, anticipate and adapt to evolving trends in health and healthcare management, and take appropriate, timely action.
