The role and challenges of big data in healthcare informatics and analytics: Review
Keywords:
healthcare informatics, healthcare professionals, particular big data researchAbstract
It appears that data-related research, and in particular big data research, is ongoing and producing results faster than we can keep up with. This has challenged us to prepare an updated version of this survey that will cover these fields in the future. It appears that big data and healthcare informatics applications need more research targeted towards them. This research needs to be directed in terms of both developing the most appropriate technology that is adequate for streamlining the new healthcare practices in various regions, as well as in comparison to the current technologies and practices, and targeting research towards ways of coordinating healthcare professionals and hospital financial departments. Collaborative and interdisciplinary research among various stakeholders and professionals is also critical in overcoming the challenges related to big data and healthcare informatics. Moreover, besides the new big data technologies and practices developed alongside the fourth industrial revolution, future evolution needs to be supported by the development of appropriate regulatory frameworks. These may also embrace existing ethical considerations and constraints, particularly those related to making data available for researchers. Finally, the importance of having alternative and continued training for healthcare professionals related to data ethics and legal considerations is a must.
