Analytics and the future of healthcare
Atanu Basu, Ayata

Whether you call it the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare, the law enacted in 2010 has generated strong debate about healthcare in America and the need to balance volume (healthcare providers billing by the number of services provided) with value (a results-based approach tying payment to better health).

This issue focuses entirely on the many facets of analytics and healthcare.
