Assess Medical Outcomes

Alongside the traditional injunction to “do no harm,” modern medical practitioners must continually consider how procedures or therapies might be improved upon, so that they pose less risk to the patient, result in fewer complications—and make optimal use of available resources.

SPSS Inc. offers a variety of tools that assist medical professionals in making such assessments. At hundreds of hospitals, clinics, group practices, and medical schools worldwide, software from SPSS is being used to explore questions like these:

What therapies are most likely to be effective for certain types of patients?
What are the chances of complications with specific medical treatments?
What patients are most at risk of developing complications?
How does patient length of stay affect the outcome of specific procedures?
What staffing level is appropriate for the types of cases our facility typically handles?

The statistical tools that SPSS has continually enhanced over more than 35 years in business offer an array of statistical tests, plus advanced data visualization and graphing techniques. These products are easy to use, yet can efficiently process large datasets with hundreds of rows and dozens of variables.

Our data mining solution, which uses advanced statistical algorithms, neural networks, and machine learning techniques, quickly uncovers subtle patterns and associations, and is particularly helpful if you have an extremely large dataset to analyze.

SPSS products enable you to develop insight into conditions and test hypotheses about why certain events or conditions may have occurred. Using our products does not require extensive training, although convenient and affordable online training options are available.
