From CNet:
The ultimate goal is threefold: To develop treatment methodologies that are personalized; to simplify how health care is delivered; and to create new incentives and models that help evolve health care into a system that rewards based on patient outcomes rather than simply volume of care.
“Improving the quality of health care requires more than just digitizing health data,” says Chalapathy Neti of IBM Research. “Enabling greater coordination between care providers and transforming data into clinical decision intelligence could improve patient outcomes and help lower costs of health care today.”
