Abstract
Would you prefer a 20-page report with columns and rows, or would you rather see that information in a simple pie or bar chart? Data presented in a visually simple format is easy to comprehend. From the giant screens that display your favorite coffee to the information on your phone screens, we all interact with visual information. Our lives today are filled with technology and data, and visualized data is an integrated component of the technologies we interact with. Although most industries have adopted data visualization for several decades, it was only the past decade that saw healthcare starting to use it to communicate information to patients. Leveraging data visualization helps us to deliver clinical insights and help with critical decision making in a quicker and more accurate manner. Healthcare undoubtedly benefits from leveraging these tools to identify trends and opportunities to optimize systems thereby improving the quality of care.
