Big data analysis has been widely used in a wide variety of fields, and the healthcare industry is gradually keeping up with the latest technology in the market. Thanks to the rise of more affordable cloud solutions and increased storage availability mean hospitals and clinics can finally catch up and implement direct improvements to hospital performance, such as lowering hospital readmission rates. For the context of this article, readmission refers to when a patient returns for more care within 30 days of their original hospital stay.  This situation usually occurs in patients who are treated for the first time due to poor management of medicines, improper use of medicines, or inability to obtain proper medical services and medicines in the community. The apparel business intelligence software (BI), which the operation core is through big data, can greatly reduce the chance of re-admission to newly diagnosed patients. In the past, hospital management used to observe patients through the number of drugs purchased, order frequency, etc. Now with the help of business intelligence software, we can have a better understanding of the patient's background, such as the user's income level, education level, living environment conditions, community resources, and so on. Through this technology, it can provide doctors with a more comprehensive analysis. What's more, this knowledge will enable them to provide extra care to people who need it most and help them prevent expensive readmissions. By combining the technology of commercial software and the application of electronic medical records (EMR), medical staff can easily create and enjoy personal files, and can also predict the possibility of patients being re-admitted to hospitals when providing nursing services. Predictive analytics also allows doctors to ensure that certain types of patients can totally avoid readmissions with proper initial care.

The significant increase in data collection and processing capabilities has greatly improved the ability of weather forecasters to pinpoint the time and severity of hurricanes, floods, snowstorms and other weather events. Globally, more and more evidence of climate change is prompting governments and scientists to take action to protect people and property from its effects. But to take effective measures, they need to know more about the weather-from everything that will happen tomorrow to what will happen next year.
