This volume targets crucial members of the teams who will be needed to unlock the potential of big data: health care and medical professionals, scientists, and their students. It engages and grounds its readers in the issues to be faced by showing how health care practitioners and organizations are linking data within and across their medical practice on scales that only now have become possible. ... I expect that readers will enjoy the nontechnical language and case study presentation by which challenges of big health care data are presented by the authors of the chapters to follow. ... an accessible, excellent foundation for further specialized study in health analytics and data management.
