What is LOS

Data analytics digs in the hidden layers of information in the context of unstructured data. However, researchers have found that quality of care in the healthcare sector can be significantly enhanced by studying the data residing in multiple integrated information systems. Such studies are being proposed by researchers using unique and efficient analytical techniques to increase efficiency, quality of care, and patient and staff satisfaction. In this chapter, well-known areas of data analytic applications in the healthcare sector (e.g., machine learning, simulation, and optimization works) are selectively reviewed by the authors through representing analytic solutions to real-world problems. These studies are divided into different sections per application area throughout the chapter.
