In fact, the biggest gaps are the current delivery systems' inability to produce impactful BI insights to the clients in a timely manner­ and this is because of lack of proper execution strategy and unused potent in combining the appropriate skillsets required to get the job done.This is getting further complicated with multiple datasets adding & plaguing the systems as big data and the lack of proper plan amongst the execution/delivery teams on what question to ask the data. The delivery models are simply not prepared to handle the questions, unable to staff the right skillsets, and hence the inability to build the right BI delivery framework.BI-PODS - Future Packaging of Healthcare related BI & Analytical (including Techno, Functional, and Clinical & Coding) service offerings would germinate from small and fully independent POD teams gradually evolving into dedicated & customized CoE based BI solutions.This will be the only way to provide the multiple values and differentiated outcomes for the customers, addressing the gaps adding multiple insights.
