Description
Did you ever want someone to explain to you, in non-technical terms what BIG DATA really is? Did you ever wonder how a computer structures its data so that it can accessed easily? Did you ever wonder why databases have a tough time integrating with one another? If so, this is the course for you.These technologies if implemented correctly have the potential of making healthcare processes more efficient and maximizing patient and user experience. If implemented incorrectly, they can wreak havoc.Data and databases form the foundation from which patients and clinicians make informed healthcare decisions. Our patient data is no longer stored solely in one healthcare institution like a hospital or a physician's office but in multiple locations. Many of these locations are non traditional sources like pharmacies, our home and mobile devices. The data which was once static in the form of patient records now encompasses real time data from our smart devices. To complicate matters even more, some of the data is highly structured and easy to search and other data is not. The difficult challenge is to view and make decisions on data provided by multiple sources.Learn the basic concepts behind databases and Big Data and why their organization is important for clinical decision making.What is "Big Data"The difference between Structured and Unstructured dataThe problems in integrating multiple data sources within one healthcare institutionHospital consolidation and what it means to consolidating healthcare data and databasesVarious methods of integrating multi hospital databases This course includes:Video lectures walking you through the various aspects of wirelessQuiz to test your retentionSignificant number of resources to do a deeper dive into his topic.Whether you are new to the healthcare profession or looking to advance your career in healthcare or are an established healthcare professional eager to learn more about the potential of this new technology, this course is perfect for you. The course is targeted for those unfamiliar with technical jargon but still wanting to learn about this new technology and its application to healthcare organizations.My approach to teaching is a very pragmatic one explaining difficult concepts in an "easy to understand" format. This and my other courses are founded on my 35 years experience in the healthcare industry growing my career from development engineer through president. It is also based on my 15 years teaching business and healthcare at the graduate level at 2 Universities.
