Explore the possibilities and the perils. UNLEASHING THE POWER OF BIG DATAThe healthcare system is drowning in data. Examine early efforts to make use of Big Data, and how the pioneers are meeting the main challenges: the cost of the necessary technology and the difficulties of getting systems to communicate with each other.
