The revolution in little data
Friday 4 April 1.25-2.55pm, State 1&2
Electronic health records (EHRs) have been around for over 30 years now, but it is still hard to share information between health software programs. One of the largely unsolved challenges is how to exchange and re-use clinical data. Development of computable, clinical models that express the detailed clinical data patterns, the 'little data', has been slowly evolving but is now starting to gain momentum, both here in Australia and overseas.
If we collaborate to ensure that the little data is fit for clinical purpose, then we can start to break down the silos of health information, support collection of high quality clinical data and provide a firm foundation for safe aggregation, analysis and re-use of health data. Getting the 'little data' right, will underpin and enhance the outcomes we seek through 'big data'.
