Now that we have explored these trends and some of the consequences, we'll take a look at the data. We'll examine data that we have available and the ways in which we are currently using it in the industry. Then we'll explore some misconceptions that exist in the industry about the uses of big data. We'll review social drivers of health outcomes and how we can get at that data. We'll also delve into how to address missing information within the data as well as bias that may not be readily apparently.
