Summary• HIT allows rapid processing and storing of large amounts of
information
• The term “ Big data” describes the way we deal with the astonishing accumulation of digital information which is often stored in large unstructured data repositories.
• New tools such as business intelligence (BI) have emerged to organise and interpret this vast array of information with benefits in public health, research, patient care and hospital operational systems.
• Performance monitoring of systems, providers and patients will improve quality, experience and value for money
Performance

• “Pay”– Incentives

The impact of public reporting
• There is strong evidence to support public reporting on the performance of health care organisations. A number of other countries are seeing the benefits that it can bring, particularly when linked to health systems improvement as part of an overall quality framework.
• Public health performance reporting offers significant opportunities to improve the overall performance of Australia’s health system, and achieve better integration between hospitals and primary health care.
Nearly every transaction or interaction leaves a data signature
Someone somewhere is capturing and storing
Sheer scale has far exceeded human sense-making capabilities
At these scales patterns are often too subtle and relationships too complex or multi dimensional to
observe by simply looking at the data.
Data mining is a means of automating the process to detect interpretable patterns

New methods of scientific inquiry
• While it is attractive to contemplate the way everything may become connected to everything else, it presents a number of large challenges.
• The lab research model has been important for over a century in both scientific advancement and product development; soon it may also have to accommodate a search for truth based only on pattern-spotting.
