Big Data: Consider Focusing on Small Data First

spacer by Angela Guess

Matthieu Blit of Health Works Collective recently opined that it’s not the size of the data that matters but how you manage it. He writes, “What really underlies the ‘Big data’ topic and what’s really interesting and worth attention, especially for small practices and independent physicians, is not the ‘big’ in ‘Big data’, but the ‘data’ part. The first and main objective of data management should be to improve the patients’ health and to ease health professionals work (sounds obvious, but sometimes the obvious needs to be explicitly stated…). Information management is (and always was) a critical issue for the medical practice, independently from the size of the practice.”

He goes on, “So what really matters is how to make the best use of this information and “translate data into actionable results [to] have a direct impact on care management and treatment coordination”. That’s why some authors took advantage of the Big data big fuss to point out the fact that maybe it would be better to start focusing on small data before diving in the data oceans promised by the industry.”
