“…In addition to asset management, radiofrequency identification (RFID) is increasingly integrated into healthcare to provide real-time management, identification, and tracking of patients and staff (Yu, 2011; Ingrassia, 2012). This highly granular location data can be invaluable when modeling patient flow and care delivery processes.…”

The American healthcare system is at a crossroads, and analytics, as an organizational skill, figures to play a pivotal role in its future. As more healthcare systems capture information electronically and as they begin to collect more novel forms of data, such as human DNA, how will we leverage these resources and use them to improve human health at a manageable cost? In this article, we argue that analytics will play a fundamental role in the transformation of the American healthcare system. However, there are numerous challenges to the application and use of analytics, namely the lack of data standards, barriers to the collection of high-quality data, and a shortage of qualified personnel to conduct such analyses. There are also multiple managerial issues, such as how to get end users of electronic data to employ it consistently for improving healthcare delivery, and how to manage the public reporting and sharing of data. In this article, we explore applications of analytics in healthcare, barriers and facilitators to its widespread adoption, and how analytics can help us achieve the goals of the modern healthcare system: high-quality, responsive, affordable, and efficient care.

Unfortunately, many persons are injured or killed during disasters. The problems of paper triage tags, which are widely used at disaster scenes, include an inability to show the current priorities of casualties and a failure to collect the physiological conditions of the casualties. To save lives, this paper proposes an electronic triage system that consists of two types of electronic triage tags and an electronic triage server. The electronic triage tag continuously monitors the vital signs of casualties and transmits them to the electronic triage server, and the electronic triage system shows the current priorities of the casualties. Experimental results show that our proposed electronic triage system can save more lives than paper triage tags.
