This process is facilitated with the help of a specialized system and software. The system is connected through electronic health records that are available to the physicians which help to reduce cost through unnecessary care (Gandomi & Haider, 2015). Data analytics plays an essential role in ensuring the commercial industries can make informed choices.  Notably, data analytics is regarded as the assortment of applications from business intelligence to the manner in which a business increases its operational efficiency.  The current business environment can benefit from a favorable outcome while still maintaining the highest level of production.
