1) Gain an overview of business analytics tools and understand how they might be used in radiology. 2) Be able to describe the general steps involved in business analytics, including extract, transform, load (ETL) and key performance indicators (KPI). 3) See a demonstration implementation of an open-source business analytics tool using a radiology use case.
This session will provide a general overview of business analytics concepts and how they can be used in radiology. A walk through of the basic steps involved in implementation including identifying, collecting, transforming, and dynamically presenting key performance indicators (KPI) will be demonstrated. The extract, transform, load (ETL) steps will be shown using an example use case, and multiple database sources taken from a radiology practice.
