1. Research Topic

Describe the specific topic for your research (3-5 sentences).

The research topic should be appropriate for the course. The relationship between/among the course concepts should be clearly specified.

Power BI Analytics in HealthCare Industry

The objective is to gain insights into the healthcare data by making embedding Power BI reports and dashboards to analyze patient data in real time. As organizations can understand their own analytics and discover powerful insights. The visualization will help to simplify the process and allows decision makers to derive analytical results. As access to healthcare data grows, healthcare data requires new skills and approaches to understand the trends and patterns. Power BI would be a good solution to solve them. The use of data visualization is also helping public health organizations with diagnosis and treating patients with long term conditions. And evaluating alternative treatments based on analysis of outcomes.

2. Research Problem Statement

Write a brief research problem statement/Thesis statement (2-3 sentences).

What are you trying to investigate?

Large data needs to be summarized for timely viewing of a patient’s medical history. Data visualization can be used to address this problem and this research focuses on the application of potential tools and technologies.

3. Significance/Background

Describe the significance of this topic in relation to course concepts. Significance should be explicitly stated, not implied (3-5 sentences).

Significance of power BI dashboards in health care organizations in getting insights into single or multiple facilities, patients, departments, clinical records, revenue etc. to be able to react and provide good patient support system while help grow the organization with Power BI healthcare dashboards. With the Help of dashboards, it is easy to keep track of patient information like Patient visit summary, Hospital statistics, Department information, Revenue Summary, Bed classification & Designation.

4. Research Questions

List the primary research question(s). The research question(s) should be aligned to the research problem.

Write the direction of inquiry in your research. What are you attempting to answer through these questions?

How can Power BI be used in the healthcare sector to improve insights on analyzing the ever-increasing patient data volume, patient’s demographical updates, and pharmacovigilance research data? What are some effective data visualization techniques for the timely analysis of patients’ medical history and faster diagnosis and treatment?
