GMU Analyzing Patterns and Trends in Enormous Datasets Discussion – Question Description
I’m working on a nursing discussion question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
BIG DATA RISKS AND REWARDS
As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big data—large, complex sets of data that require specialized approaches to use effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards—and significant risks—to healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and rewards.
