ABSTRACT
Analytics and specifically big data analytics are the product of any and all of the following sources: EHR, HIE, ACO, and PHR, but also patientgenerated data generated by many types of medical devices including wearables, smartphones, and bedside monitors.In addition to the benefits of “actionable” self -awareness and clinical convergence, wearable health care technologies deliver a rich source of information, and not only to measure various aspects of an individual’s health. Looking ahead, enterprise data repositories and patient-generated health data from IoT devices will be the key to population health management, to gleaning reimbursement in a value based world, and to producing measurable gains in outcomes and patient satisfaction. Big Data derived from wearables mated with contextual analytics will be leveraged to extract value, identify long term patterns and risk factors for clinicians and researchers. Analytics will complete the chain of healthcare information and care management, delivered more intuitively and proactively.
