Diverse data inputs can be linked together to inform a variety of sectors. Featured here are a series of examples. Mortality data can be linked to insurance claims and medical costs to extract outcomes of clinical trials and rare diseases etc., which can then inform funding and policy decisions. Also, purchasing and behavior data can be linked to facilitate Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) studies. These are simplified examples of data-driven research, commercial, and policy decision making.
