It is driven by the irreversible surge in the availability and quantity of data. Not long ago, administrators were compelled to make critical operational, clinical, and financial decisions on the basis of their experience, without having access to sufficient data.

Thanks to the technological advancements of today's latest data architectures such as Hadoop, Map Reduce, or Azure Data Lake, modern healthcare entities are armed with historical data and real-time quality. This has fundamentally changed how healthcare services are consumed and delivered. Healthcare leaders in both public and private settings are relying on data generated by their systems to make recommendations or predict outcomes.
