Harnessing BIG DATA to Improve Healthcare Recognized as a Top Ten Innovation
Explorys to present Healthcare BIG DATA at Hadoop World 2011
CLEVELAND, Nov. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cleveland Clinic unveiled "Harnessing BIG DATA" as one of the 2012 Top Ten medical innovations at the Clinic's annual Medical Innovation Summit in October.
Explorys was formed to harness BIG DATA for medical advancement, providing a structured way to collect, store, aggregate, easily access and analyze the incomprehensible amount of data that is created on a daily basis. In the world of healthcare, dynamic data management technology plays a vital part in ensuring efficiency and patient safety.
In addition to Cleveland Clinic, Explorys has grown its network of healthcare systems since late 2009 to include other large integrated systems such as MedStar, Summa Health System, MetroHealth, University Hospitals, and St. Joseph Health System of Orange County.
"Both patients and payers expect healthcare providers to leverage our data to improve outcomes and drive down costs," said Greg Kall, senior VP and CIO for Summa Health System. "The bar is rising and the communities that we serve depend on our ability to do this particularly as the medical home and ACO models evolve."
BIG DATA visionaries, Charlie Lougheed and Doug Meil, will speak at the Hadoop World conference held Nov. 8-9 in New York City. As a longtime leader within the Hadoop and HBase communities, Explorys has developed one of the fastest growing networks in the U.S., with agreements spanning 70 hospitals, thousands of ambulatory venues, and over 30 billion clinical, operational, and financial facts.
"Our customers are leveraging BIG DATA to recognize patterns in disease and treatment that not only enable them to innovate faster, but also deliver better care and lower costs," stated Charlie Lougheed, Explorys Co-Founder, President and Chief Technology Officer.
Explorys' DataGrid platform is a massively parallel computing and unique indexing model that enables healthcare providers to search and analyze populations, treatment protocols, and outcomes to improve care delivery and accelerate lifesaving discovery in less than a second; all in a HIPAA compliant manner.
