ABSTRACT
Knowledge is required to drive action. Data alone without context is not influential. The creation of knowledge is separate from the sharing of knowledge. Rather than creating data or information, valuable work creates knowledge, and that leads to action. Data is isolated facts. This could be the time, temperature, heart rate, or any other number of discrete measurements. Once data is put into context to create information, it can be combined with other information to create knowledge. It is important to note that the creation of knowledge is separate from the sharing of knowledge. The Knowledge subdomain is focused on sharing knowledge in a way that causes physicians to act. Clear communication of data, information, and knowledge is about creating easy-to-understand visuals. Great visuals transform complex ideas and processes into concrete stories. Predictive analytics is a collection of techniques that identify the chance of future outcomes based on the data, information, and knowledge available today.
