From John Lynn’s Blog:
A month or so ago I wrote a post comparing healthcare big data with skinny data. I was introduced to the concept of skinny data by Encore Health Resources at HIMSS. I absolutely love the idea of skinny data that provides meaningful results. I wish we could see more of it in healthcare.
However, I was also intrigued by something else that James Kouba, HIT Strategist at Encore Health Resources, told me during our discussion at HIMSS. James has a long background in doing big data in healthcare. He told me about a number of projects he’d worked on including full enterprise data warehouses for hospitals. Then, he described the challenge he’d faced on his previous healthcare data warehouse projects: quality data.
