The Use of Big Data to Improve Patient and Health-Related Outcomes Abstract: The world of healthcare is going through a transformation in the IT world. The capture of “Big Data” has only begun. Applications are being introduced that help individuals make sense of this raw data, which is proving to be very beneficial in the healthcare world. Although in its infancy, the advancements we see in this research paves the way for a very promising future in healthcare. The use of Big Data proves to show…

ABSTRACT The promise of data-driven decision-making is now being recognized broadly, and there is growing enthusiasm for the notion of ``Big Data.’’ While the promise of Big Data is real -- for example, it is estimated that Google alone contributed 54 billion dollars to the US economy in 2009 -- there is currently a wide gap between its potential and its realization. Heterogeneity, scale, timeliness, complexity, and privacy problems with Big Data impede progress at all phases of the pipeline that…

ability to share the medical record and exchange of data between information systems, which helps to achieve quality care. What is health information exchange? It is aimed to provide a complete view of patient’s information for clinicians who have the responsibility to make decisions for treatment for the better outcome. HIEs would enable the sharing of record between doctors ' offices, hospitals and laboratories, and security levels would be determined by the level of data needing to be exchanged.…

technology—equipped for rapid data retrieval and transmission. Like all computerized technology, the format of patient health records has evolved dramatically over time. With the evolution of technology, a need has been identified for the improvement of efficiency and productivity in the transmission of patient data (Practice Fusion, 2016). In order to achieve this goal, patient medical records have now adopted an electronic format and are now referred to as electronic health records (EHRs). Both medical…

application that is designed to assist patients and health care providers in maintaining individual’s health related data within the electronic health record (EHR). Patients’ health records are a great target for many attackers because they contain sensitive data. The main goal of iTrust is to create a system that centralizes medical information of a patient from many sources in order to provide a summary of health records in a way that is useful to health care professionals (Meneely, Smith, & Williams…

As you know Diabetes (DM) is a growing health disparity in the United States (U.S.). Today we are going to take a closer look at how we can improve the management of DM in the rural communities within Iowa. Particularly looking at improving the primary care aspect of these patients in three rural counties in central Iowa. Currently Grinnell Regional Medical Center (GRMC) affiliated clinics attempt to manage DM on the primary care level and then will refer patients to Internal Medicine and/or endocrinology…

selected to discuss about the use of big data in public health by Government of India, as I have worked there. In recent years there is a rapid expansion in generation and use of data. Although in health sector there has been an increase in production of data, but little use of data have seen to improve health care. Mostly all of the data at individual level like medical history, doctor’s prescription, pathology reports, diagnostic images etc. and some data at community level like hospital admission…

1 Data Acquisition and Recording Big Data is not just simply come from itself it is been recorded and generated by some data generating source. For instance, if we have our ability to feel and realize the arena around us, from our own heart rate and getting the data of toxins that are present in the air we leave this will produce more than one million terabytes of unparalleled data for every day. Furthermore, scientific experiments will also produce petabytes of data today. Whatever the data that…

amounts of digitized patient data with the growing in electronic health records (EHRs), more and more facilities is gathering. On by nurses, who previously recorded patient info in paper based formats much of the obligation for patient data input has been taken? Computerized patient data also enhances quality of the entire healthcare system although accurate documentation is essential for patient care. Data mining to bring out previously unknown patterns from vast data stores and then apply this info…

Introduction The term big data came into the picture to refer the big volumes of information’s both the companies and governments are storing.
