"This book bridges the fields of health care and data to clarify
how to use data to manage pandemics. Written while COVID-19 was
raging, it identifies both effective practices and misfires, and is
grounded in clear, research-based explanations of pandemics and
data strategy....The author has written an essential book for
students and professionals in both health care and data. While
serving the needs of academics and experts, the book is accessible
for the general reader." - Eileen Forrester, CEO of Forrester
Leadership Group, Author of CMMI for Services, Guidelines for
Superior Service "...Rupa Mahanti explores the connections between
data and the human response to the spread of disease in her new
book,... She recognizes the value of data and the kind of insight
it can bring, while at the same time recognizing that using data to
solve problems requires not just technology, but also leadership
and courage. This is a book for people who want to better
understand the role of data and people in solving human problems."
-- Laura Sebastian-Coleman, Author of Meeting the Challenges of
Data Quality Management In contrast to the 1918 Spanish flu
pandemic which occurred in a non-digital age, the timing of the
COVID-19 pandemic intersects with the digital age, characterized by
the collection of large amounts of data and sophisticated
technologies. Data and technology are being used to combat this
digital age pandemic in ways that were not possible in the
pre-digital age. Given the adverse impacts of pandemics in general
and the COVID-19 pandemic in particular, it is imperative that
people understand the meaning, origin of pandemics, related terms,
trajectory of a new disease, butterfly effect of contagious
diseases, factors governing the pandemic potential of a disease,
strategies to combat a pandemic, role of data, data sharing, data
strategy, data governance, analytics, and data visualization in
managing pandemics, pandemic myths, critical success factors in
managing pandemics, and lessons learned. How Data Can Manage Global
Health Pandemics: Analyzing and Understanding COVID-19 discusses
these elements with special reference to COVID-19. Dr. Rupa Mahanti
is a business and data consultant and has expertise in different
data management disciplines, business process improvement,
regulatory reporting, quality management, and more. She is the
author of Data Quality (ASQ Quality Press) and the series Data
Governance: The Way Forward (Springer).
