DALLAS — IBM (NYSE: IBM) is opening a Health Analytics Solution Center to help Big Blue address growing demand for advanced analytics that help hospitals and medical staff improve decision-making and provide higher-quality care.
The company said Tuesday that the center will be in the IBM Global Solution Center in Dallas and will employ more than 100 health analytics experts, technical architects and specialists.
"Tapping into mountains of data within hospitals and clinics can provide powerful new insight into what's working and what isn't," said Dwight Carter, CIO of the Dallas Fort Worth Hospital Council.
IBM has worked with a number of hospitals, including Duke University Medical Center, Geisinger Health System, Mayo Clinic, New York's Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the University of North Carolina to advance health analytics technology.
