The topic should be about an area within health care where data is used (think surgery, emergency services, risk management, Accountable Care Organizations, etc). Discuss how data use was initiated in this area or service, what changes have occurred since this was initiated and the impact it has had.
Alternately you can pick an innovative or questionable use of data in a health care setting. Instead of thinking about healthcare globally, be a little more specific and discuss application within a service or department.

Introduction
The rapid pace and changes in medical discovery is evident in the present changing
medical field with the changing of the ways of care. Presently, the medical field is in the cusp
of revolution, particularly with the introduction of technology, the electronic health records
that have resulted in immense quantities of individual health data. The idea of "big data" in
healthcare setting continues to grow with more people valuing it because of its improvement
of the way of delivering care. Even though "big data" implementation could be the next
revolution in the healthcare sector, it requires reevaluating the entire system to get the best
out of practice.
Introduction of Data Use in Surgery
Operating room comprises one of the most expensive sections in the hospital because
of the high resource requirement as well as the diverse uncertainties. However, few existing
solutions that support monitoring and decision-making in surgical operations help manage the
situation (Spangenberg, Wilke and Franczyk). Despite increased expectations for the best
outcomes in surgical practices from patients, hospitals, and insurers, estimates of about nine
million from about three hundred million surgical procedures each year across the globe
encounter significant complications (Maier-Hein, Vedula and Speidel 3). Surgical practices
have and continue to evolve, with the most notable revolutionary change taking place in the

nineteenth century with anesthesia and antiseptic introduction. At the time, surgeons relied on
minimal instrumentation and occasionally used the knowledge they had as well as clinical
experience that arose from learning from peers and the few available books. During the
twentieth century, medical advances were on professionalization as well as systematic
outcome measurement, and minimally invasive access to surgical sites. Introduction of
technology transformed surgery with its provision of a nearly unlimited amount of electronic
patient records. The need to improve patient safety as well as the effectiveness and efficiency
comprises the primary reasons for the introduction of data use in surgical practices (MaierHein, Vedula and Speidel). There is also the shift from subjective to objective decisionmaking before a surgical practice as well as from qualitative to quantitative that would
broaden the coverage thus ensuring the best diagnosis that then improves care outcome. The
shift allows personalized treatment as well as ensure that the process centers on patients and
caregivers.
Importance of Data
Big data is essential in a healthcare setting because of its provision of a powerful
approach that physicians can use to monitor disease patterns as well as patient outcomes to
