Healthcare information resides in so many different silos that organizations often do not have one comprehensive repository of all healthcare data. Thus, any opportunity to see trends and predict outcomes within the population is greatly inhibited, often yielding inconclusive and/or delusive results. Making healthcare data aggregation even more challenging, is the fact that there is no single standardized and universally adopted format for healthcare data.

The term ‘big data’ is used to describe data sets, like those found within the healthcare industry, that are so large or complex legacy databases and software applications prove inadequate in practice. Big data’s inherent complications include the capture, analysis, data curation, search, storage, transfer, visualization, querying, updating and information privacy.
