Leveraging ‘Big Data’ - Methodological Considerations in Health Services Research, New Webinar Hosted by Xtalks
Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) July 30, 2014 -- While administrative claims and other data have been available in health services research for a relatively long period of time, there has been an upswing in interest regarding the use of these ‘big data’ for comparisons of interventions under actual practice conditions.
By combining today’s powerful computer technology with the plethora of data available in the digital era, ‘big data’ holds significant promise for identifying optimal interventions for specific patient populations. For pharmaceutical, device, or diagnostic manufacturers, this can mean conducting comparative effectiveness research in a more cost effective manner and with shorter timeframes than traditional prospective research.
However, given these data are often collected for reasons other than the specific research project being considered, there are also limitations and potential pitfalls when analyzing existing data that must be incorporated into analysis plans.
