IBM uses BI in healthcare

IBM will work with McKesson Health Solutions, a US healthcare services company, on utilising (BI) to create analytics systems for both public and private health plans, says BCS.org.

According to IBM, many health plans use partial sets instead of fully bringing together data from a range of sources.
