Within just one year, a single hospital surpasses the entire data holdings of the United States Library of Congress by generating approximately 137 terabytes of data daily! But this gold mine is still severely underleveraged. Here is a good short read on the topic. A few quick takes are: 1. The medical sector has vast clinical and patient-generated data but struggles to integrate and utilize it effectively due to outdated systems. 2. Patient data faces challenges like interoperability issues, fragmented data, and security concerns. 3. The future of healthcare involves empowering patients with data control, merging it with physicians’ insights, and enabling patient-researcher data sharing for advancements. #data #patientdata #healthcare #healthrecords #interoperability #security #patientempowerment https://lnkd.in/en_rFNZB
