The 'Big Data' Revolution in Healthcare


There is a great paper put together by the people at Mckinsey & Company entitled "The 'big data' revolution in healthcare: accelerating value and innovation" (right click link to download entire paper).  This 22 page paper published earlier this year is a great primer on big data (and analytics) place in this sector.

forces demanding insights:  enter "big data"
I recommend reading the entire thing.  But the summary is a good bottom line of the papers analysis and subsequent recommendations:

"Big-data initiatives have the potential to transform health care. Stakeholders that are committed to innovation, willing to build their capabilities, and open to a new view of value will likely be the first to reap the rewards of big data and help patients achieve better outcomes."
