In the wake of COVID-19, ensuring secure, reliable data and analytics is more important than ever.
An ever-evolving public health crisis has made uncertainty par for the course. And improving service for citizens while keeping everyone safe now hinges on collecting and acting on accurate data. Without data, decisions about how to move forward are reduced to shots in the dark. We see data and analytics as table stakes during this time. Here are a few benefits government IT can expect when they make the shift to data centricity.
Improving government response and resource allocation
Armed with data about the scope and scale of important initiatives and available resources, government agencies are able to work more efficiently, assigning the best people for the right tasks at the right times.
Hospitals can leverage data to properly move resources around such as ICU beds, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), medical staff and more. The ability to share this data with other hospitals is invaluable; it can help prevent overcrowding as patients are referred to locations that will best serve their needs while lessening the burden on doctors, nurses and other essential caregivers.
In hybrid work setups, understanding the best ratio of in-person to remote workers can help agencies invest in the right types and amount of workplace technology — as well as determine what resources IT needs to manage the employee ecosystem on the backend.
