Big Data ‘Long-Way’ From Being Harnessed for Population Health – Healthcare IT News

As they look to population health management, nearly two-thirds of hospitals and healthcare systems and have adopted remote patient monitoring and analytics into their care processes, but there’s a long journey ahead before many get their strategies down. Physicians often lack the training to account for the right ways to access data.

With this surge in digitized patient data comes the challenge, for hospitals and health systems, to efficiently and cost effectively store and manage that data.
