Thomson Reuters Advantage Suite - Healthcare Decision Solution Upgrades Software

There’s certainly no shortage of business intelligence software today in healthcare and Thomson Reuters made a recent upgrade with their business intelligence algorithmic formulas. Every which direction we turn today we hear more and more about reporting, which is great, as along as those using the reports put them to good use and implementation with healthcare today, and we don’t always see that, mostly due to some users not having enough IT advisory abilities to interpret them in a positive production atmosphere. The news is full of those who stumble over themselves and we end up with some often “silly” statistics or something along that line.

Anyway, back on track business intelligence software is rapidly changing just as is the technology used in healthcare today and it’s a snowball effect if you have not taken notice yet and it’s all about those algorithms that produce data for decision making processes. And perhaps maybe you thought Thomson Reuters delivered the news only (grin). BD
