| dc.description.abstract | Introduction Healthcare data analytics is a methodological approach to the systematic analysis of health data, and it provides opportunities for healthcare professionals to improve health system management, patient engagement, budgeting, planning and performing evidence-based decision-making. Literature suggests that certain skills and/or competencies for health professionals working with big data in health care would be required. A review of the skills and competencies in health data analytics required by health professionals is needed to support the development or re-engineering of curriculum for health professionals to ensure they develop the abilities to make evidence-based decisions that ultimately can lead to the effective and efficient functioning of a healthcare system. Methods Using Arksey and O'Malley's framework, this study will review literature published in English from January 2012 to December 2022. The database search includes Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, and MEDLINE via EBSCOhost, PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Taylor and Francis. The reference lists of key studies will be searched to identify additional appropriate studies to include. The review will be conducted using an inclusion and exclusion criteria. Iterative processes will be involved at the various stages of search strategy piloting, screening and data extraction. Articles will be reviewed through a two-step process (title and abstract, and full-text review) by at least two reviewers. | |
