Perficient interviewed Janice McCallum, Managing Director of Healthcare Content Advisors, at the 2011 HIMSS Conference and Exhibition. Janice spoke of the impact that meaningful use has on healthcare analytics. Meaningful use creates the infrastructure and content that allow for increased use of business intelligence in healthcare settings.
