Big Data plays a vital role in patient care
We are seeing new phenomena where stored data is now accessible and useable. Big data is being analyzed to gain valuable insights into ways to become more cost effective, and accelerate patient care. The focus has shifted to individual quality of care and increased access to relevant medical data enables a greater depth of knowledge. As Electronic Health Records evolve, and are capable of working with outside apps, more relevant critical information is captured and recorded. Data from all sources needs to be integrated for more efficient access, to help provide a more complete view for patient problems, diagnosis and treatment. Patients are also able to access their information from almost any device at any location. More hospitals and medical facilities are able to enter information into mobile devices and computers as it is obtained from the patient. The ability to combine all types of information entered through mobile devices increases the relevance of mobile technology. There is no longer a reason to avoid technology because it is perceived to get in the way of care. Tablet computers can be taken into the consulting room, while many hospitals now have terminals outside each hospital room or a hub in the hallway with easy encrypted single sign on for all medical staff. Access to comprehensive health data also enables more accurate prognosis and treatment decisions. Healthcare providers a realizing the benefit of big data and large-scale data analysis to deliver better care at lower costs as well as more customized treatment plans. There has been a resistance to change in the healthcare industry, but big data is playing a vital role that cannot be ignored. EHR systems are more affordable and information can be exchanged more easily than ever before.
