In government healthcare IT, analytics has long focused on descriptive insights, answering “What happened?” through dashboards and reports. However, the future of healthcare analytics lies beyond simply reporting the past—it requires understanding why events occur, predicting future trends, and prescribing the best course of action. This webinar will explore the evolution of healthcare analytics, from descriptive and diagnostic approaches to predictive and prescriptive AI-driven decision support. Join us to discover how AI and machine learning are transforming healthcare decision-making, enabling faster, smarter, and more effective interventions—and how government healthcare can move beyond descriptive analytics to unlock the full potential of data-driven innovation.
