CollaborationHow We WorkCurrent FocusBig DataGet Involved


The reason for using big data in healthcare is to provide better, more efficient, and more evidence-based clinical care...Big Data also will change the way we define and diagnose oral diseases (Glick, 2015 Jada 146(11) 793-794)

 

To support the Research and Business Intelligence, ICE has developed the ICE Big Data warehousing including data from the range of clinics, including private and community clinics, corporate practices and universities. Through the adoption of industry-wide standards and interoperability, ad hoc queries across single or combined data sets are possible--appropriate IRB approval and patient consents provided.
