Big data analytics in healthcare and treatment of patients and health management

Abstract

The implementation of Big Data Analytics (BDA) in the healthcare industry will make it possible to employ newly developed technology in the management of health as well as the treatment of individual patients. The purpose of this study is to conduct an investigation into the many ways in which Big Data Analytics may be used to the medical field. The research is predicated on an in-depth review of the existing body of literature, in addition to the presentation of a selection of the results obtained through actual research on the application of Big Data Analytics in clinical settings. The direct research was carried out in Poland on a sample size of 217 medical institutions using a research questionnaire as the primary data collection tool. Direct research has shown that medical facilities in Poland are moving towards data-based healthcare because they use structured and unstructured data, reach for analytics in the administrative, business, and clinical area, and studies of the literature have shown that the use of Big Data Analytics can bring many benefits to medical facilities. According to the findings of the research, medical institutions are actively working on both structured data and unstructured data at the same time.
