Strategy to Mitigate the Challenge of Big Data as part of the Clinical System

Milstead & Short (2019) states “a knowledge strategy and infrastructure, expertise, and tools are required to discover new learning and knowledge in big data.”  A strategy I have utilized is reviewing the patient’s past results and comparing them to the current results. For example, knowing a patient’s baseline blood sugar is essential, especially when you have a blood sugar that is out of the normal range for the patient. Also, tracking blood sugar trends can be beneficial for future treatment plans.
