DISCUSSION 2
Main Post
Big data refers to a large amount of information gathered through technology which we use to generate meaning in the world (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018). There are many benefits of using big data as part of a clinical system such as quick easy access to a plethora of patient information to use by the healthcare professionals and the patients. Glassman (2017) states that patients being able to view their own health information and results through patient portals keep them up to date on labs, medications, and upcoming appointments.
The challenge of using big data as part of a clinical system is seen when there are large amounts of data coming through, but each set has its own language that needs to be manually translated as seen with HCA (Thew, 2016). McGonigle and Mastrian (2018) states that a strategy for sorting through the large amounts of information coming through is to invest in data mining techniques. There are many “data mining techniques,” one of them uses algorithms, these techniques place similar information into categories which makes it easier to analyze (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018).
