Types of healthcare analytics include descriptive (what has happened), predictive (what could happen), prescriptive (what should we do), and diagnostic (why did it happen). Discuss one of these analytics types you might have used in real life or can use to resolve any healthcare issue. Support your response with an example from healthcare where this type of data is used for managerial decision-making. Explain how it affected the made decisions and if it made the process more effective and efficient than if it were otherwise.

Respond to a minimum two of your peers with a substantive comment assessing the offered examples in terms of the best application of data analytics type. Follow APA formatting, referencing credible evidence. Only one outside source is allowed. Use the content of this class as the main source of evidence.
