Confidential Proprietary information – Not for Distribution
Problem to be Addressed: New York State does not have a comprehensive
physician or mid-level practitioner database. The current process of gathering
such information is arduous and complicated requiring users to examine
multiple local, state, and national data sources, often followed by surveys and
telephone contacts with offices, hospitals, and other entities. The need for a
common, integrated, practitioner database is greater than ever, particularly as
the state addresses the implications of federal and state reforms that will
significantly increase the demand for primary care and other services.
Gartner: "Big data are high volume, high velocity, and/or high variety
information assets that require new forms of processing to enable enhanced
decision making, insight discovery and process optimization."
Data growth challenges and opportunities are
three-dimensional:



Volume (amount of data)
Velocity (speed of data in and out)
Variety (range of data types and sources)
The necessity: to create and have access to actionable data
