Introduction
There is a lot of learning to be had with Big data other than the sheer volumes of data to be gleaned for present and future use by nursing for further analyzing and synthesis. (Threw, 2016) The ability to combine data into a positive nursing outlook is very valuable to bring state of the art nursing practice that improves quality patient care. The combination of big business and big data brings the ability to dissect information, synthesize, and analyze technology bringing data to a new level that will enhance nursing practices. (Wang, Kung & Byrd, 2016)
Potential Benefit to Big Data
Handwashing, for instance, is impacted by big data, utilized into another a change in the way the hands are washed. Big data reflects on the issue of disease transmission and the patient-to-patient trans mission and continues to evolve with many environmental changes. ( Glassman,2017) For example, using the ”Happy Birthday” song was to instill handwashing washing for 20 seconds to help lower the risk of disease transference and the addition of using the disinfectant solution at every patient’s door before entering the room. Since the Covid 19 insurgence, there is another way to wash hands that takes about a minute. The utilization of big data is paramount in controlling contamination while analyzing the effectiveness of new data is ever-evolving and relentless fight. (McGonigle & Mastrin, 2018)
Potential Challenge to Big Data
Resistance to change especially the rapid turnover of technology and implementation of new protocols is felt by all patients and nurses alike, ”This is the way we’ve always done it” is the resistance to change regardless of big data. The Radio-frequency device (RFID)has been introduced to my unit, labor and delivery it is mandated that they should be worn, in retaliation they are not worn and therefore no data is being recorded on nurses doing any patient rounding. ( Glassman,2017) This particular piece of data was introduced for patient safety and intervention in falls protocols.
Summary
It is easy to see that acquiring big data helps bring about change and new protocols meant to benefit the patient and the nurse. The use of big business practices at looking at data with big data accumulation brings about big changes and challenges. Incorporating new technologies brings with it progress and improvement in delivering care.

Introduction
There
is
a
lot
of
learning
to
be
had
with
Big
data
other
than
the
sheer
volumes
of
data
to
be
gleaned
for
present
and
future
use
by
nursing
for
further
analyzing
and
synthesis.
(Threw,
2016)
The
ability
to
combine
data
into
a
positive
nursing
outlook
is
very
valuable
to
bring
state
of
the
art
nursing
practice
that
improves
quality
patient
care.
The
combination
of
big
business
and
big
data
brings
the
ability
to
dissect
information,
synthesize,
and
analyze
technology
bringing
data
to
a
new
level
that
will
enhance
nursing
practices.

Kung
&
Byrd,

Potential
Benefit
to
Big
Data
Handwashing,
for
instance,
is
impacted
by
big
data,
utilized
into
another
a
change
in
the
way
the
hands
are
washed.
Big
data
reflects
on
the
issue
of
disease
transmission
and
the
patient
-
to
-
patient
trans
mission
and
continues
to
evolve
with
many
environm
ental
changes.
(
Glassman,2017)
For
example,
using
the
”Happy
Birthday”
song
was
to
instill
handwashing
washing
for
20
seconds
to
help
lower
the
risk
of
disease
transference
and
the
addition
of
using
the
disinfectant
solution
at
every
patient’s
door
befor
e
entering
the
room.
Since
the
Covid
19
insurgence,
there
is
another
way
to
wash
hands
that
takes
about
a
minute.
The
utilization
of
big
data
is
paramount
in
controlling
contamination
while
analyzing
the
effectiveness
of
new
data
is
ever
-
evolving
and
r
elentless
fight.
(McGonigle
&
Mastrin,
2018)
Potential
Challenge
to
Big
Data
Resistance
to
change
especially
the
rapid
turnover
of
technology
and
implementation
of
new
protocols
is
felt
by
all
patients
and
nurses
alike,
”This
is
the
way
we’ve
always
done
it”
is
the
resistance
to
change
regardless
of
big
data.
The
Radio
-
frequency
device
(RFID)has
been
introduced
to
my
unit,
labor
and
delivery
it
is
mandated
that
they
should
be
worn,
in
retaliation
they
are
not
worn
and
therefore
no
data
is
being
recorded
on
nurses
doing
any
patient
rounding.

Glassman,2017)
This
particular
piece
of
data
was
introduced
for
patient
safety
and
intervention
in
falls
protocols.
