Intelligent techniques for business intelligence in healthcare

Business intelligence is a new methodology to maximize the benefits for healthcare organization Business intelligence provides an integrated view of data that can be used to monitor, key performance indicators, identify hidden patterns in diagnosis and identify variations in cost factors. Intelligent techniques provide an effective computational methods and robust environment for business intelligence in the healthcare domain. From the technical point of view, healthcare based business intelligence systems, are complex to build, maintain and face the knowledge-acquisition difficulty. Efficiency of such systems is determined by the efficiency of the intelligent techniques and methodologies. This paper discusses AI based techniques and approaches which are used in such systems namely; expert systems, data mining and grid computing.
