Methods and systems for mapping healthcare services analytics for volume and trends
Certain examples provide systems and methods for analysis and graphical visualization of healthcare services data. Certain examples provide a healthcare services analysis and visualization system. The system includes a data store to store data related to healthcare services provided in at least one geographic region. The system also includes a processor to retrieve and sort data from the data store based on one or more criteria, analyze the sorted data, and transform the sorted data into a geographical map representation of the healthcare services data. The system includes a user interface to display the geographical map representation of the healthcare services data and facilitate user review and interaction with the geographical map representation and the underlying healthcare services data.
1. A healthcare services analysis and visualization system, the system comprising:
a data store to store data related to healthcare services provided in at least one geographic region;
a processor to retrieve and sort data from the data store based on one or more criteria, analyze the sorted data, and transform the sorted data into a geographical map representation of the healthcare services data; and
a user interface to display the geographical map representation of the healthcare services data and facilitate user review and interaction with the geographical map representation and the underlying healthcare services data,
wherein the healthcare services data is identified on the geographical map representation using one or more indicators, and wherein each of the one or more indicators is selectable by a user via the user interface to retrieve and view healthcare services data and analysis associated with the indicator, wherein the processor is to generate geographic trend information for display and user access via the geographical map representation based on the sorted healthcare services data, the geographic trend information provided in conjunction with radiology business data to create a visual business and planning tool.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is to generate a report based on the geographical map representation and the underlying healthcare services data.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more indicators comprise one or more pie chart indicators.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the healthcare services data is sorted based on one or more criteria including at least one of zip code, healthcare services provider, and exam type.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the geographical map representation is focused on a region and wherein the user interface allows the user to zoom in and out of the region.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the data store comprises a radiology information system.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the trend information comprises an analysis of trends regarding patient residence and healthcare facility location.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the trend information comprises an analysis of trends regarding patient income and patient proximity to healthcare facility location to visualize an impact of the healthcare facility on at least one geographic region.
9. A method for analysis, mapping, and visualization of healthcare services data, the method comprising:
retrieving healthcare services data from a data store;
sorting the retrieved healthcare services data, using a processor, based one or more criteria;
analyzing the sorted data, using a processor, according to one or more criteria;
transforming the sorted data into a geographical map representation of the healthcare services data using a processor;
displaying the geographical map representation of the healthcare services data via a user interface; and
facilitating user review and interaction with the geographical map representation and the underlying healthcare services data via the user interface,
wherein the healthcare services data is identified on the geographical map representation using one or more indicators, and wherein each of the one or more indicators is selectable by a user via the user interface to retrieve and view healthcare services data and analysis associated with the indicator, wherein the processor is to generate geographic trend information for display and user access via the geographical map representation based on the sorted healthcare services data, the geographic trend information provided in conjunction with radiology business data to create a visual business and planning tool.
10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising generating a report based on the geographical map representation and the underlying healthcare services data.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more indicators comprise one or more pie chart indicators.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the healthcare services data is sorted and analyzed based on one or more criteria including at least one of zip code, healthcare services provider, and exam type.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the geographical map representation is focused on a region and wherein the user interface allows the user to zoom in and out of the region.
14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the trend information comprises an analysis of trends regarding patient residence and healthcare facility location.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the trend information comprises an analysis of trends regarding patient income and patient proximity to healthcare facility location to visualize an impact of the healthcare facility on at least one geographic region.
16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a set of instructions stored thereon which, when executed, instruct a processor to implement a healthcare services analysis and visualization system, the system comprising:
a data store to store data related to healthcare services provided in at least one geographic region;
a processor to retrieve and sort data from the data store based on one or more criteria, analyze the sorted data, and transform the sorted data into a geographical map representation of the healthcare services data; and
a user interface to display the geographical map representation of the healthcare services data and facilitate user review and interaction with the geographical map representation and the underlying healthcare services data,
wherein the healthcare services data is identified on the geographical map representation using one or more indicators, wherein each of the one or more indicators is selectable by a user via the user interface to retrieve and view healthcare services data and analysis associated with the indicator, and wherein the processor is to generate geographic trend information for display and user access via the geographical map representation based on the sorted healthcare services data, the geographic trend information provided in conjunction with radiology business data to create a visual business and planning tool.
17. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the healthcare services data is identified on the geographical map representation using one or more indicators selectable by a user via the user interface to retrieve and view healthcare services data and analysis associated with the indicator.
18. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the healthcare services data is sorted based on one or more criteria including at least one of zip code, healthcare services provider, and exam type.
