Big data doesn’t have to give you a
big headache
Centralising data sets from multiple sources
and functional groups is essential to creating
a data ecosystem that can be analysed

comprehensively and inform clinical and
operational decision-making.
Robust algorithms can transform
patient, financial and operational data
into actionable intelligence that helps
care centres provide the best care most
efficiently. However, the value of any
big data technology is tied to how it
can be customised to meet the needs of

individual end users with respect to both
data collection and data outputs. The
integration of MOSAIQ and Watson for
Oncology is an example of how big data
can be used to transform care for individual
patients. Data sets are getting larger and
it’s up to technology innovators, such as
Elekta and our partners, to cut them down
to size and put them in the palm of the
provider’s hand. n
