Big data, cloud computing, and business continuity management (BCM) can help transform healthcare by enabling predictive analytics, maximizing asset utilization, and providing a foundation of availability. Healthcare data exists across the continuum of care but often in silos without interoperability. Cloud computing can help resolve physical interoperability issues, while standards help with syntactic interoperability. BCM is important for healthcare to ensure critical functions remain available. The role of these technologies is to revolutionize healthcare through increased efficiencies, better outcomes, and more personalized care.

3. Agenda
• My topic for today is “The role of Big Data, BCM & Cloud in
Healthcare” and we will be examining;
• How the healthcare industry can leverage Big Data, Cloud and
sound BCM practices to revolutionize healthcare, from increased
efficiencies to better outcomes and more personalized care
3
4. Demystifying Healthcare
• In order to ensure an effective implementation (of any
technology), it is important to understand the nature of the
industry (the nuances and contextual background)
• Ever wonder why healthcare is called a ‘Practice’?
• Ever wonder why a patient is called a ‘Patient’?
• Warning : The following explanation will expose the hard truth
about the origins of healthcare
4
5. Demystifying Healthcare (cont.)
• Trial-and-Error medicine
• The cholera epidemics in England during the 1800s, which resulted
in more than 76,000 deaths, subside and stopped because John
Snow (a physician) identified the problem source (via some detective
work)
• The organism that causes cholera (Vibrio Cholera) was discovered
25 years after John Snow’s death by Robert Koch
• Trial-and-Error medicine is still being practice although it gets
better and better
• (ever heard of Clinical Trials and Evidence-Based medicine?)
• The good news is, healthcare is moving towards a patientcentered paradigm - personalized medicine
5
6. Predictive Analytics in Healthcare
• Predictive Analytics
• Encompasses a variety of techniques from statistics, modeling,
machine learning, and data mining that analyze current and historical
facts to make predictions about future, or otherwise unknown, events
• Powered by Big Data
• Ongoing reforms in healthcare is slowly shifting from pay-forservice to pay-for-performance, as such, healthcare providers
are being more data-driven, gleaming insights from predictive
analytics
• Healthcare NEEDS Analytics & Big Data

8. Everywhere? - Continuum of Care
• Continuum of Care
• A concept involving an integrated system of care that guides and
tracks patient over time through a comprehensive array of health
services across all levels health care.

9. Interoperability Basics
• To put it briefly, there are three categories of Interoperability
• Physical Interoperability
• Medium of connectivity or the physical connections
• E.g. Wireless network or Mobile Phone network (e.g. 3G, GSM, CDMA)
• Usually take for granted
• Functional Interoperability
• Functional interoperability is syntactic in nature
• Syntax refers to the structure of a communication
• Similar to spelling and grammar rules
• Semantic Interoperability
• Semantics refers to the meaning of a
communication
• The vocabulary, dictionary or thesaurus
9
10. Interoperability (cont.)
• To quote Charles Mead;
• “syntactic interoperability guarantees the exchange of the structure of
the data, but carries no assurance that the meaning will be
interpreted identically by all parties”
• Semantic Data across the Continuum of Care will enable;
• Big Data, Analytics
• Utilize these data to run Clinical Trials (using predictive analytics)
• Retrospective cohort, case-control studies
• Now back to answering the question of “where is the data”

With Standards (e.g. HL7), Syntactic Interoperability is resolved

12. Business Continuity
• Business continuity is the activity performed by an organization to
ensure that critical business functions will be available to
customers, suppliers, regulators, and other entities that must
have access to those functions.
• These activities include many daily chores such as project
management, system backups, change control, and help desk.
• Business continuity is not something implemented at the time of a
disaster; Business Continuity refers to those activities performed
daily to maintain service, consistency, and recoverability.

13. Business Continuity in Healthcare
• Hospitals are going digital;
• Not just filmless but also paperless
• Heavy reliance on technology
• Technology is expected to be
robust like our electricity grid
• As healthcare moves towards
being data-driven, availability
has taken on a new dimension
of importance

14. Business Continuity in Healthcare
(Cont.)
• Disruption of critical business functions in healthcare is a NO-NO
• While technology cannot replace healthcare providers, the
absence of technology can seriously hinder (if not cripple) the
delivery of care
• Imagine a surgeon operating on a patient
and the electricity went out
• Or you are examining a patient when the
Electronic Medical Records is down
• Do you still prescribe tests and medication?
How about the priors?
14
18. Business Continuity in Healthcare
(Cont.)
• High Availability requirements of acute hospital
• 99.999 by the month (not year) for both planned and unplanned
downtime
• As a rule of thumb, if a physician has to wait for more than 3
seconds to load an image or report, than that is considered slow
