PolySpot Technologies are Integral Piece to Best Practices with Big Data
November 22, 2012
Often times when the phrase big data is thrown around, organizations lose sight of the word ‘data’ and its relation to their overall goal as it pertains to extracting intelligence and information from the petabytes. HealthWorks Collective delivers up a reminder in the article, “Big Data, Small Data… Size Doesn’t Matter, Data Management Does.” It is east to get lost in the voluminous ‘big’, but that idea in itself would not amount to anything significant.
The article recommends that organizations in the healthcare industry take the initial step to benefiting from big data and transferring records from paper to digital files.
However, there is a step that precedes digitizing information:
But as the EHR/EMR supply grew and got more diverse, it seems that the problem is not so much to use or not to use these tools, but to find the right one that would adapt the physicians’ practice, workflow and habits. Through flexible, software-as-a-service-based solutions, for example. So, more than going digital, the first step would be to find a flexible, customizable tool to match the best the specifications of your practice.
The steps do not end there. Learning best practices with big data is an integral piece to the puzzle and should be another consideration in choosing a software vendor. Consulting and support matters in a vital way; best practices are the difference between information being delivered to the right users at the right time. We have been particularly impressed with PolySpot in this regard.
