I believe that data should be at the core of every strategic decision-making process. In
medicine, where innovations are almost daily as a healthcare professional, one needs to keep in
touch with the changing dynamics, and data plays a pivotal role in ensuring that. Data provide
valuable insights that can help one deal with various medical decisions. Insights are vital for
developing action plans and planning for the future (Milovic, 2012). As a healthcare leader,
some of the roles that could prove consequential in developing a data-driven decision-making
structure include:
Develop an effective data collection system where all the necessary data can be gathered
centrally to be analyzed.
Employing technology in the data collection and analysis to enhance the speed and
delivery of top-notch healthcare. For instance, predictive analytics can be used to model
What are some challenges and ethical concerns that might exist in the use of big data for
decision making?
Some of the challenges and ethical concerns that might exist in using big data for
all plays an essential capacity in the implementation to provide platform users to deliver answers.
The concerns are significant because they can have a negative impact. If the data is tampered
with, the information may be misinterpreted (Milovic, 2012). For example, if data is
implemented into a data system and syncing transport incorrectly, the data obtained will be
misinterpreted. No one will know about the mistake because no one is looking for it. A few
months ago, I was hired by a law firm for data entry. The supervisor stated, "We use a system
that transported data into the system we will use, and we don't know how the number derives.
She asked that we put the numbers as we see fit. I was puzzled. Although this information was
for the law office, this is an excellent example of deception or misrepresentation (Albright, &
Winston, 2014).
