Create a business brief of 3 pages, based on the case, Carolinas Healthcare System: Consumer Analytics. Firstly, identify a problem or opportunity from this case that can be addressed through an informatics approach. Then, in your brief, you will provide background on the organization and frame the problem or opportunity for stakeholders. Structure your brief using the following six components:
- Define a clear problem or opportunity that addresses what is important to the organization.
- Define key data items or variables you want to study that are relevant to the problem or opportunity.
- Identify stakeholders for the problem or opportunity, including the stakeholder(s) who will make a specific decision based on analysis results, once a potential solution to the problem is found.
- Briefly explain two alternative ways the problem could be addressed, that go beyond what is presented in the case.
- Adopt an analytical story type that could help you to communicate the particular problem or opportunity effectively to an audience (see Chapter 2, pp. 29-40, Davenport & Kim).
- Describe relevant previous experiences or findings and explain how they relate to the problem or opportunity from the case. This information may be included in the main body of the brief or noted in an appendix, whichever is most appropriate for context and flow.
