Recently, Dr Anderson, the CEO of the K Hospital, is interested in the approach of management science and data analytics. He believes that the approach can be used to improve the hospital management and the healthcare services. He then hopes to promote the approach to his colleagues, and decides to compile an introduction to the approach, titled "a brief introduction to the (overlapping steps of) management science approach". You are working as an assistant for Dr Anderson. Dr Anderson also learns that you have a better understanding the approach, and thus asks you to help on this issue.

Please draft the introduction for Dr Anderson so that he can circulate it to some senior staffs (administrative staffs, doctors and nurses) for educational purpose. You are required to draw on materials or concrete examples from the above article so that the introduction reads more relevant to health care practices (highlight those materials in red) and is easy for health workers to understand. The draft should contain more than 700 words.
