商品描述

In recent years, there has been steady increase in the interest shown in both big data analytics and the use of information technology (IT) solutions to improve healthcare services. Despite the growing interest, there are limited materials, to addressing the needs and challenges posed by the activities and processes including the use of big data. From IT solutions' perspectives, this book aims to advance the deployment and use of big data analytics to increase patients' big data usefulness and improve healthcare service delivery.

The book provides significant insights and useful guide on how to access and manage big data, in improving healthcare service delivery. The book contributes a fresh perspective, which primarily comes from the complementary use of analytics approach with actor-network theory (ANT), and other techniques, in advancing healthcare service delivery. Accessing and managing healthcare big data have always been a challenging exercise. Due to the sensitivity of the health sector, the focus on patients' big data is from either technical or social perspective. Thus, the book employs sociotechnical theories, ANT and structuration theory (ST) as lenses to examine and explain the factors that enable and constrain the use of patients' big data for health services. By doing so, the book brings a different dimension and advance health service delivery.

Providing a timely and important contribution to this critical area, this book is a valuable, international resource for academics, postgraduate students and researchers in the areas of IT, big data analytics, data management and health informatics.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

近年來,對於大數據分析以及利用資訊科技(IT)解決方案來改善醫療服務的興趣穩步增加。儘管興趣日益增長,但針對大數據使用所帶來的需求和挑戰的相關資料仍然有限。從IT解決方案的角度來看,本書旨在推進大數據分析的部署和使用,以提高患者大數據的實用性並改善醫療服務的交付。

本書提供了重要的見解和有用的指導,說明如何訪問和管理大數據,以改善醫療服務的交付。本書貢獻了一種新穎的視角,主要來自於分析方法與行動者網絡理論(ANT)及其他技術的互補使用,以推進醫療服務的交付。訪問和管理醫療大數據一直是一項具有挑戰性的工作。由於健康領域的敏感性,對患者大數據的關注主要來自技術或社會的角度。因此,本書運用社會技術理論、ANT和結構化理論(ST)作為視角,來檢視和解釋促進和限制患者大數據在健康服務中使用的因素。透過這樣的方式,本書帶來了不同的維度,推進了健康服務的交付。

本書對於這一關鍵領域提供了及時且重要的貢獻,是IT、大數據分析、數據管理和健康資訊學領域的學者、研究生和研究人員的重要國際資源。
