Blog3: Six Ways The Healthcare Industry Is Reaping Big Rewards From Big Data
Big data has greatly improved the medical experience of patients worldwide, while optimizing the efficiency and accuracy of diagnosis and treatment in medical institutions.
As the population ages and the cost of health care soars, governments around the world have begun to reform the health care system to reduce public spending. One of the important goals is to promote precision medicine to reduce the waste of medical resources, and big data plays an important role in it.
At the same time, many doctors have doubts about the use of big data. Since the construction of the electronic medical record system, doctors have spent too much time facing computer screens and keyboards, rather than interacting with patients, making them feel like "data entrants." In view of the fact that the progress of human physiology and disease is dynamic and full of complex variables, excessive reliance on computers and data may cause doctors to miss important "sensory information", forming a physic physical examination like in the laboratory and imaging diagnosis. The general situation. In addition, the patient's personal health information, including name, physical and mental status, and even genetic data, how to prevent abuse and misappropriation? Can current laws protect our health and privacy? Does a comprehensive list of health information cause the hospital to reject high-risk patients? If a certain area has a high proportion of a certain disease, or even a certain genotype, is it possible to cause discrimination or panic? These are the problems that may be caused by the expanded circulation of medical data.
On the whole, although big data brings many possibilities to the entire health care system, whether it can become a weapon for improving the overall medical quality still depends on people's wisdom control and regulation. This depends on government departments, the legal profession, and the medical profession. , The information industry and other joint efforts to plan a perfect system and precise technology so that it can be correctly operated and used.
Big data can use in many different way, for example Analysis of electronic medical records, Analysis of hospital system, Management data for public health research, Evidence-based medicine and reduce the readmission rate.
ReplyDeleteIn the point of analysis of electronic, Doctors sharing electronic medical records can collect and analyze data to find ways to reduce medical costs. Sharing patient data between doctors and medical service providers can reduce repeated examinations and improve the patient experience. But at present, most electronic medical records cannot be shared, which is largely due to security and compliance considerations, but finding a safe way to mine patient data can improve the quality of medical care and reduce medical costs. And the second point, Think about the benefits we get when analyzing trends in hospital admissions. For example, a comprehensive analysis of medical equipment in the pediatric ward can identify potential infant infection trends earlier. Or, think again about the benefits of reducing postoperative staphylococcal infections. By using big data, hospitals can know whether antibiotics prescribed by doctors after surgery can effectively prevent infection. Medical staff will be overwhelmed by overwhelming data. Clinics and hospitals will submit data on health status and immunization, but if there is no big data, these data are meaningless. Big data analysis can standardize and integrate the original data of patients to enrich public health records, and the rich and diverse public health records can promote more reasonable regulations and provide better medical care.
Although using big data is very convenient but there are still some dangerous part that we should pay attention of it.
