majority of government agencies, in my humble opinion, is removing the technical competency and the technical complexity of data analytics,” Kane predicts.“ I have incredibly smart disease surveillance folks, epidemiologists. I have incredibly smart research and analytic folks in healthcare. They probably aren’ t database administrators with 20 years of experience in data structure, data queries, how databases work, one-tomany relationships, normalisation of data and so on. But they don’ t need to be because they’ re really smart at the thing that they actually need to be smart at.”
As the Mississippi Department of Health continues its digital transformation journey, Kane remains focused on the ultimate goal: improving health outcomes for the state’ s citizens.
By leveraging technology to push healthcare delivery closer to the patient edge, the department aims to provide more responsive and effective care while maintaining cost-effectiveness for taxpayers.
“ Our digital initiatives are reshaping our approach to healthcare delivery, especially after COVID by demonstrating in real-time the power of technology to make the agency more responsive and more productive by pushing our healthcare out closer to the patient edge,” Kane concludes.“ By leveraging technology, it’ s allowed us to support a wider audience, more varied audience while still being cost-effective to the taxpayer of Mississippi.” healthcare-digital. com 125
