Discussion: Big Data Risks and Rewards

When you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few text

or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to

refuel your car. Upon your

arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain

entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by

the cafeteria to purchase a coffee.

From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data

-

generation machine. Each us

e of

your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your entrance

to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you

generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are

st

aggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every

second for every person on earth.

As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use

big data

—

large, complex sets of data that require s

pecialized approaches to use

effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards

—

and significant risks

—

to

healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and rewards.
