This data forecasts the probability of an event occurring. For health care professionals, leveraging this information requires up-to-date figures and robust interoperability that centralizes data and enhances access. Health care data analysts who incorporate such solutions see better decision-making and proactive care opportunities sooner.

Such data is a powerful tool for initiatives like preventing the spread of infection by identifying vulnerable patients or commonalities in care that could lead to outbreaks.
