文摘Although we know that there are benefits to individual patients from electronic data,the next potential,and potentially the biggest,benefit will come from the technologies known as big data,machine learning,and artificial intelligence.Harnessing the potential of computers to sift through large amounts of data will result in the possibility of generating insights into individual patients,and into whole populations,predicting the risk of hospital admission for an individual,or track-ing influenza epidemics to prepare adequate responses.Once the data are reliable,recorded in a computer-interpretable way,new horizons will open.
