Due to the commitment shown by the medical staff in the hospital, the approach used was a success. Before the approach’s initiation, the cost of health care had increased substantially, and patients were reported to be at risk of acquiring complications from the hospital. However, the data-driven approach brought about a significant decline when a patient needed to be admitted to the hospital. Consequently, this resulted in reduced health care costs which significantly improved the financial standing of the hospital (Scurti, Ruiz, Vidal, Torrente, Vogiatzis, Paliouras & González, 2020, July). Furthermore, the operations of the hospital registered a noteworthy improvement due to improvement in care coordination.
